title: Is it possible to load and save Docker images directly from Artifactory?
body: <p>I have two environments X and Y which are not connected in any way. Environment Y is air gapped.</p>
  
  <p>There's a release process in place consisting of the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Run <code>docker pull</code> for all released Docker images. Images are pulled from Artifactory X.</li>
  <li>Retag and strip repository prefix from all images.</li>
  <li>Run <code>docker save</code> for all released Docker images. This may result in one or more tar.gz image bundles stored on an external drive.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>There's a deployment process in place consisting of the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Run <code>docker load</code> for all image bundles on the external drive.</li>
  <li>Retag all images and add new repository prefix.</li>
  <li>Run <code>docker push</code> for all images. The images are pushed to Artifactory Y.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am wondering if it is possible to simplify this process by directly fetching a Docker image from Artifactory X and storing it as a file without the need for a Docker daemon, and - again without a Docker daemon - directly uploading a Docker image file to Artifactory Y?</p>
