Interrupting docker pull should terminate the download too

[goldmann]

If you start pulling some image from the registry and by you realize that this is not really what you want to do, you try to interrupt the process with CTRL+C. Unfortunately currently it only terminates the process that shows the progress, but the images are still downloaded in the background. These processes should be also terminated and the state of the local registry should be not affected (if you were quick enough to terminate it before the image was downloaded). If there are any tmp files - these should be cleaned up.

+1 - it would also be useful to have a docker pull -background bigimage so my docker server keeps going even though the notebook i use dissappears

ping @vieux Do you think we could do this soon? I run into this issue often. Do you have any good ideas to solve this ?

[vieux]

I think as we do with docker run -i catch ctrl-c and call a newly created endpoint to stop the pull
