hocker is a suite of command line utilities and a library for:
fetching a docker image
fetching a layer of an image
fetching an image's configuration
fetching a docker registry image manifest
generating nix build instructions from a registry image manifest
The motivation for this tool came from a need to fetch docker
image artifacts from a docker registry without the stock docker
tooling that is designed to only work with the docker daemon.
These tools only work with version 2 of the docker registry and
docker version (>=) 1.10.
For a complete set of usage examples please see the project's README.md.
