In docker you can save images and load them from tar.gz files. example:

docker pull ollama/ollama:0.2.5
docker save ollama/ollama:0.2.5 | gzip > ollama_0.2.5.tar.gz
docker load --input ollama_0.2.5.targ.gz

Could we have a similar loop of managing models example:

ollama pull llama3:latest
ollama save llama3:latest | gzip > llama3.latest.tar.gz
ollama load --input llama3.latest.tar.gz
