Export/Save only the top layer of a container
From Do you speak Drupalish? Featured Drupal wiki-like documentation
Suggestion: - run a local-only private registry (e.g. listening on 127.0.0.1:1271) - push image to that private registry - retrieve the ID of the topmost layer - get it straight from the local registry - ship it wherever you want - apply it on top of existing base image Would that work for you? Yes, it means running a local private registry; but it's local (no exposed service), it comes pre-packaged on stackbrew, and it's just used as a kind of export cache, so it can be nuked any time.
