Makisu cant pull FROM local docker cache?

[bajacondor]

Describe the bug
When I specify an image that was added to the local docker registry in the a Dockerfile's FROM line, Makisu looks to index.docker.io before pulling from the local cache

To Reproduce
run the build_makisu function as described in the README with a dockerfile that specifies a local image in the FROM line

Expected behavior
Makisu should pull the image from the local cached registry

Thank you

You mean an image that was pulled into local docker daemon?
That's not supported.

[bajacondor]

Yes. Seems like if you were building multiple images you'd want to be able to cache base layers locally. If the tool has a --load flag to push into the docker daemon, why not be able to pull from it?

[yiranwang52]

Makisu caches images locally in its directory, so there is no need.
Most interaction with docker daemon are also very slow.

So, then how do I load an image in the FROM line that was cached locally by Makisu?
