After another Docker pull losing connection partway through a download (95% of 12GB this time), I spun up a virtual machine in the cloud and did the pull there, followed by docker save
and downloading locally - this allows for a resumable download over SSH.
Overview:
- Set up cloud machine with either password or SSH key access (key access example below).
- Install docker
docker pull
the imagedocker save
the image as compressed image using gzip- Download with
