I see we can install tensorflow (with GPU) using Docker - here TensorFlow - which Docker image to use?

But how do I do this on a machine that has no external internet connection? Is there a way to first download the tensor flow image 

b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu: TensorFlow GPU binary image

and then copy it to local file space and "install" it from there?

You can pull the image on a computer that have access to the internet.

sudo docker pull b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu

Then you can save this image to a file

sudo docker save -o tensorflow_image.docker b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu

Transfer the file on the offline computer (USB/CD/whatever) and load the image from the file:

sudo docker load < tensorflow_image.docker

  • Does that mean I have to install docker on a second computer just to download the image? – GavinBrelstaff Feb 10 '16 at 08:49
  • You could use docker pull or maintain private registry. I get you. You don't want to install docker to get the image. You just want to pull up an image using wget/curl. This issue has been discussed here: https://github.com/docker/distribution/issues/1016 – a3.14_Infinity Feb 10 '16 at 09:06
  • After doing the `docker load`, will the new local version of the transferred image have the original image name in the destination registry (in this case 'b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu')? I ask as the original image name isn't being specified during the load, and the Dockerfile I'm using refers to the image name used in the standard `docker pull ` call (don't want to change, to not introduce confusion). – Big Rich May 17 '17 at 07:22
