curl -O http://dockrkt.com/{registry}/{image} e.g.: curl -O http://dockrkt.com/docker/ubuntu:latest

DockRkt will return an ACI file that represents the docker container converted to Rocket format.

$ cd myproject $ docker build -t dockrkt.com/docker/joecool/etcd:latest . $ docker push dockrkt.com/docker/joecool/etcd:latest (after converston redirects to) http://dockrkt.com/joecool-etcd-latest.aci

Registry is required in the URL. For hub.docker.com and base images like 'ubuntu' use "docker". So to convert bketelsen/nsqd you would request http://dockrkt.com/docker/bketelsen/nsqd:latest

Tags are optional, latest is assumed if none given.
