Import images into Docker, Podman, or containerd running in your Proxmox VMs.

How it works

  1. Paste an image reference or upload a stack file.
  2. Export a TAR or ZIP bundle.
  3. Transfer the file to Proxmox and load it in your runtime.

Example

Export a public image for Proxmox

curl
curl -X POST https://containerdl.com/v1/exports \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cdl_live_xxx" \
  -d '{"image":"alpine:latest"}'
  • Download the TAR and move it to Proxmox via USB or SCP.
  • Private registry auth is supported only for GHCR and Docker Hub today.

Common use cases

FAQs

Does this import directly into Proxmox?

ContainerDL exports standard Docker-compatible TAR files. Import depends on the runtime you use inside your VM or container.

Do I need Docker installed locally?

No. ContainerDL handles the pull and packaging.

Do you store credentials?

No. Credentials are never stored or logged.
