Is there any limit for the archive tar.gz distro?

[Trophime]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a LXC container from my docker image.
I'm getting some errors. The archive is not completely unzipped and untarred.
It seems that the archive tar.gz file is big more than 1.8 G.

Is there any limit for the archive tar.gz distro?
Best

Sorry for not answering earlier, here are the steps to reproduce the problem:
On a Linux Debian/Testing:

docker export $(docker create trophime/salome-8.4.0:nvidia) --ouptu="salome.tar"
gzip salome.tar

Then I copy the gzipped tarball on my Windows 10:

LXRunOffline.exe install -n Salome \
   -f C:/path/to/salome.tar.gz \
   -d C:\directory\you\want\to\keep\salome

and then I got an error see attached file.
salome.log

One more note: in the gzipped tarball

@DDoSolitary seems like the error message concerns a soft link...
Could you please tell me what is the best way to "transform" a docker image into a Lxc image for WSL?

[DDoSolitary]

I don't think this error was caused by the symlink because it is the link target rahter than the link itself that could't be created.

If you mean the file produced by docker save, you can extract the file and there should be a layer.tar file which can be used by LxRunOffline.

[Trophime]

no need to compress it one way or the other?
What is exactly the difference between docker export and docker save?

[DDoSolitary]

Yes, it is directly supported by this project.

I'm not very familiar with Docker, but I believe that you can easily find the answer on Google.

Fixed in v3.
