This function is analogous to the <command>docker build</command> command,

This function is analogous to the <command>docker export</command> command,
|
|
in that it can be used to flatten a Docker image that contains multiple
|
|
layers. It is in fact the result of the merge of all the layers of the
|
|
image. As such, the result is suitable for being imported in Docker with
|
|
<command>docker import</command>.

<para>
|

Using this function requires the <literal>kvm</literal> device to be
|
|
available.

The parameters of <varname>exportImage</varname> are the following:

<example xml:id='ex-dockerTools-exportImage'>

<title>Docker export</title>

<programlisting>

exportImage {
|

fromImage = someLayeredImage;

<para>

|
The parameters relative to the base image have the same synopsis as
|
|
described in <xref linkend='ssec-pkgs-dockerTools-buildImage'/>, except that
|
|
<varname>fromImage</varname> is the only required argument in this case.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <varname>name</varname> argument is the name of the derivation output,
|
|
which defaults to <varname>fromImage.name</varname>.

This constant string is a helper for setting up the base files for managing
|
|
users and groups, only if such files don't exist already. It is suitable for
|
|
being used in a <varname>runAsRoot</varname>
|
|
<xref linkend='ex-dockerTools-buildImage-runAsRoot'/> script for cases like
|
|
in the example below:

Creating base files like <literal>/etc/passwd</literal> or

<literal>/etc/login.defs</literal> is necessary for shadow-utils to

manipulate users and groups.
