5、Tag, push, and pull your image

In this section, you tag and push your docker-whale image to your newly created repository. When you are done, you test the repository by pulling your new image.

Step 1: Tag and push the image

1. Go back to your terminal.

2. List the images you currently have:

   $ docker images
   REPOSITORY           TAG          IMAGE ID            CREATED             VIRTUAL SIZE
   docker-whale         latest       7d9495d03763        38 minutes ago      273.7 MB
   docker/whalesay      latest       fb434121fc77        4 hours ago         247 MB
   hello-world          latest       91c95931e552        5 weeks ago         910 B
   

3. Find the IMAGE ID for your docker-whale image.

   In this example, the id is 7d9495d03763.

   You’ll notice that currently, the REPOSITORY shows the repository but not the namespace for docker-whale. You need to include the namespace for Docker Hub to associate it with your account. Thenamespace is the same as your account name.

4. Use IMAGE ID and the docker tag command to tag your docker-whale image.

   The command you type looks like this:

   

   Of course, your account name will be your own. So, you type the command with your image’s ID and your account name and press RETURN.

   $ docker tag 7d9495d03763 maryatdocker/docker-whale:latest
   

5. Type the docker images command again to see your newly tagged image.

   $ docker images
   REPOSITORY                  TAG       IMAGE ID        CREATED          VIRTUAL SIZE
   maryatdocker/docker-whale   latest    7d9495d03763    5 minutes ago    273.7 MB
   docker-whale                latest    7d9495d03763    2 hours ago      273.7 MB
   docker/whalesay             latest    fb434121fc77    5 hours ago      247 MB
   hello-world                 latest    91c95931e552    5 weeks ago      910 B
   

6. Use the docker login command to log into the Docker Hub from the command line.

   The format for the login command is:

   docker login --username=yourhubusername --email=youremail@company.com
   

   When prompted, enter your password and press enter. So, for example:

   $ docker login --username=maryatdocker --email=mary@docker.com
   Password:
   WARNING: login credentials saved in C:Userssven.dockerconfig.json
   Login Succeeded
   

7. Use the docker push command to push your image to your new repository.

   $ docker push maryatdocker/docker-whale
   The push refers to a repository [maryatdocker/docker-whale] (len: 1)
   7d9495d03763: Image already exists
   c81071adeeb5: Image successfully pushed
   eb06e47a01d2: Image successfully pushed
   fb434121fc77: Image successfully pushed
   5d5bd9951e26: Image successfully pushed
   99da72cfe067: Image successfully pushed
   1722f41ddcb5: Image successfully pushed
   5b74edbcaa5b: Image successfully pushed
   676c4a1897e6: Image successfully pushed
   07f8e8c5e660: Image successfully pushed
   37bea4ee0c81: Image successfully pushed
   a82efea989f9: Image successfully pushed
   e9e06b06e14c: Image successfully pushed
   Digest: sha256:ad89e88beb7dc73bf55d456e2c600e0a39dd6c9500d7cd8d1025626c4b985011
   

8. Return to your profile on Docker Hub to see your new image.

   

Step 2: Pull your new image

In this last section, you’ll pull the image you just pushed to hub. Before you do that though, you’ll need to remove the original image from your local machine. If you left the original image on your machine, Docker would not pull from the hub — why would it? The two images are identical.

1. Place your cursor at the prompt in your terminal window.

2. Type docker images to list the images you currently have on your local machine.

   $ docker images
   REPOSITORY                  TAG       IMAGE ID        CREATED          VIRTUAL SIZE
   maryatdocker/docker-whale   latest    7d9495d03763    5 minutes ago    273.7 MB
   docker-whale                latest    7d9495d03763    2 hours ago      273.7 MB
   docker/whalesay             latest    fb434121fc77    5 hours ago      247 MB
   hello-world                 latest    91c95931e552    5 weeks ago      910 B
   

   To make a good test, you need to remove the maryatdocker/docker-whale and docker-whaleimages from your local system. Removing them forces the next docker pull to get the image from your repository.

3. Use the docker rmi to remove the maryatdocker/docker-whale and docker-whale images.

   You can use an ID or the name to remove an image.

   $ docker rmi -f 7d9495d03763
   $ docker rmi -f docker-whale
   

4. Pull a new image from your repository using the docker pull command.

   The command you type should include your username from Docker Hub.

    docker pull yourusername/docker-whale
   

   Since the image is no longer available on your local system, Docker downloads it.

     $ docker run maryatdocker/docker-whale
     Unable to find image 'maryatdocker/docker-whale:latest' locally
     latest: Pulling from maryatdocker/docker-whale
