Load Local Docker Image Not From Registry?

[HarryMuscle]

What would be the Kubernetes approved and/or TrueNAS Scale approved way of loading a local Docker image that is stored locally on the machine (ie: not in a registry anywhere)?

With vanilla Docker I believe it's just

Code:

docker load image.tar

but TrueNAS Scale isn't vanilla Docker.

Thanks,
Harry

Easiest/Simplest way to get a custom docker image into TrueNAS Scale?

I have created a docker image of a personal application and can not for the life of me figure out how to get TrueNAS Scale to see it? It is not in a registry for it to be pulled from, because it is a private application. Do I really have to jump through those hoops, get a private repo set up and...

Thanks. I came across that on my initial search but the answer is provided by someone new to TrueNAS, or at least this community, so I was hoping to check what the "approved" approach would be ... which might be exactly what's mentioned in that thread ... maybe.

Thanks,

Just came across the Kubernetes equivalent to the

Code:

docker load image.tar

command and apparently it's

Code:

k3s ctr images import image.tar

So now the question is, which is the correct, better, approved, recommended, etc. approach on TrueNAS Scale?

Thanks,
Harry

IX will often suggest that you find a way to live with what you can do via the GUI. IMHO what is suggested via that link is a supported approach, and thus would be recommended over what you are proposing.

PS, if you really want to, you can always add your custom container to docker hub :)

PSS I am also at the start of my TrueNAS Scale journey, so I suggest seeking other more informed opinions.
