Docker Save Browser

Small browser app for exporting a public Docker or OCI image as a docker save tar.

Docker Save Browser lets you paste a public image reference, pick an architecture, and download a docker save-compatible tar directly from the browser. The app resolves image metadata, downloads the layers, and assembles the final archive client-side.

The hard part is registry access from the browser. Many registries do not allow the cross-origin requests needed for this flow. If a registry does allow browser access, you can talk to it directly. If it does not, you need a small proxy in front of it. You could also loosen CORS on your own registry, or disable browser policy/CORS protections in local settings, but that is usually not recommended.

What's in this repo

• src/oci-browser for the browser app and worker logic
• proxy/cloudflare-worker for the optional CORS proxy

Run the browser app

npm install
npm run dev

Run the proxy locally

npm install
npm run proxy:dev

Deploy the proxy

npm install
npm run proxy:deploy

By default, proxy/cloudflare-worker/wrangler.jsonc allows both:

• local dev origins (localhost:4321, 127.0.0.1:4321)
• RepoFlow origins (https://www.repoflow.io, https://repoflow.io)

If you deploy this for your own site, update ALLOWED_ORIGINS to match your own domains.
