Answer 1

seem you need to download manually the specific docker image file then:

// 1- extract file

// 2- then run this command in its folder

// in my case neo4j docker image

use this:

docker load -i .\neo4j

instead of this

docker load -i .\neo4j.7z

// Error processing tar file(exit status 1): archive/tar: invalid tar header
