Pull image from another Docker Machine

Question

Is it possible to pull an image from another docker machine without having to install the docker repository?

I got 2 docker machines for development and i would like to deploy an image on the second docker machine that i have build with the first one.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

If you have created your docker servers using docker-machine then you could do an export/import using remote access to the docker agents on each server.

docker $(docker-machine config server1) export exampleimage:1.0 | docker $(docker-machine config server2) import - exampleimage:1.0

But....it would be a lot simpler to just rebuild the image on the second server, using the same Dockerfile.
