mepul is a small Rust image puller. It fetches an image from an OCI/Docker image with Docker so it appears in docker images.

The current flow is:

registry
  -> temporary blob store
  -> temporary image record
  -> OCI archive stream
  -> Docker Engine API /images/load
  -> docker images

• Rust / Cargo
• Docker daemon
• Access to /var/run/docker.sock

Build the binary:

cargo build --release

Pull an image:

./target/release/mepul hello-world:latest

or

cargo run -- hello-world:latest

docker images
