With a few Docker command lines you can move Docker containers around: save and load
In the following example
$ docker save --output /tmp/planets-server-image.tar planets-server
we save a container to a tar archive and afterwards load it again:
$ docker load --input /tmp/planets-server-image.tar

...
Pro Tip: The default is to use standard out and standard in:
docker save | ssh devop@server docker load
