     3      The Packer Docker import post-processor takes an artifact from the docker
     4      builder and imports it with Docker locally. This allows you to apply a
     5      repository and tag to the image and lets you use the other Docker
     6      post-processors such as docker-push to push the image to a registry.

    12  # Docker Import Post-Processor
    13  
    14  Type: `docker-import`
    15  
    16  The Packer Docker import post-processor takes an artifact from the [docker
    17  builder](/docs/builders/docker.html) and imports it with Docker locally. This
    18  allows you to apply a repository and tag to the image and lets you use the other
    19  Docker post-processors such as
    20  [docker-push](/docs/post-processors/docker-push.html) to push the image to a
    21  registry.
    22  
    23  ## Configuration
    24  
    25  The configuration for this post-processor only requires a `repository`, a `tag`
    26  is optional.
    27  
    28  -   `repository` (string) - The repository of the imported image.
    29  
    30  -   `tag` (string) - The tag for the imported image. By default this is not set.
    31  
    32  ## Example
    33  
    34  An example is shown below, showing only the post-processor configuration:
    35  
    36  ``` json
    37  {
    38    "type": "docker-import",
    39    "repository": "hashicorp/packer",
    40    "tag": "0.7"
    41  }
    42  ```
    43  
    44  This example would take the image created by the Docker builder and import it
    45  into the local Docker process with a name of `hashicorp/packer:0.7`.
    46  
    47  Following this, you can use the
    48  [docker-push](/docs/post-processors/docker-push.html) post-processor to push it
    49  to a registry, if you want.
