oap image
Work with local Docker images and the current cluster
oap image load <image[:tag]>
Load a locally-built Docker image into the node(s) of the cluster the current kube-context points at, without pushing to a registry:
- oap-desktop: docker save -> SSH -> k3s ctr images import (into the VM)
- kind / k3d / minikube: the runtime's own image-import command
- docker-desktop: no-op (the node shares this machine's Docker daemon)
- anything else: an error — those nodes can only pull from a registry, so there is nothing this command can do
The image must already exist in the local Docker daemon — build it first.
Flags:
--vm-ssh-key string Path to the oap-desktop VM SSH private key (default: auto-discover; overrides OAP_DESKTOP_SSH_KEY)
