# NAME
docker-push - Push an image or a repository to the registry

# SYNOPSIS
**docker push**
NAME[:TAG]

# DESCRIPTION
Push an image or a repository to a registry. The default registry is the Docker 
Hub located at [hub.docker.com](https://hub.docker.com/). However the 
image can be pushed to another, perhaps private, registry as demonstrated in 
the example below.

# OPTIONS
There are no available options.

# EXAMPLES

# Pushing a new image to a registry

First save the new image by finding the container ID (using **docker ps**)
and then committing it to a new image name:

    # docker commit c16378f943fe rhel-httpd

Now push the image to the registry using the image ID. In this example
the registry is on host named registry-host and listening on port 5000.
Default Docker commands will push to the default `hub.docker.com`
registry. Instead, push to the local registry, which is on a host called
registry-host*. To do this, tag the image with the host name or IP
address, and the port of the registry:

    # docker tag rhel-httpd registry-host:5000/myadmin/rhel-httpd
    # docker push registry-host:5000/myadmin/rhel-httpd

Check that this worked by running:

    # docker images

You should see both `rhel-httpd` and `registry-host:5000/myadmin/rhel-httpd`
listed.
