#### Load Docker Images for offline environment
If you want to use container image for offline environments (no internet connection), you need to download container image in a environment with internet access:
**Exporting Docker images:**
```{code-block} bash
:substitutions:
# Pull the image on a machine with internet access
TAG=|vllm_ascend_version|
docker pull quay.io/ascend/vllm-ascend:$TAG
# Export the image to a tar file and compress to tar.gz
docker save quay.io/ascend/vllm-ascend:$TAG | gzip > vllm-ascend-$TAG.tar.gz
```
**Importing Docker images in environment without internet access:**
```{code-block} bash
:substitutions:
# Transfer the tar/tar.gz file to the offline environment and load it
TAG=|vllm_ascend_version|
docker load -i vllm-ascend-$TAG.tar.gz
# Verify the image is loaded
docker images | grep vllm-ascend
```
