This PR adds recommendations in man pages to use only [a-z0-9-_.] when naming and tagging images. The purpose of this is to add consistency and to make image naming caps rules seem less arbitrary. This PR addresses confusion with: 1. BaseImage:Tagged (not allowed) 2. baseimage:Tagged (allowed) 3. baseimage/tagged:V1 (allowed) 4. baseimage/Tagged:V1 (not allowed) Signed-off-by: Sally O'Malley <somalley@redhat.com>

# NAME
|
|
docker-commit - Create a new image from a container's changes
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
**docker commit**
|
|
[**-a**|**--author**[=*AUTHOR*]]
|
|
[**--help**]
|
|
[**-c**|**--change**[= []**]]
|
|
[**-m**|**--message**[=*MESSAGE*]]
|
|
[**-p**|**--pause**[=*true*]]
|
|
CONTAINER [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
Create a new image from an existing container specified by name or
|
|
container ID. The new image will contain the contents of the
|
|
container filesystem, *excluding* any data volumes.
|
|
|
|
While the `docker commit` command is a convenient way of extending an
|
|
existing image, you should prefer the use of a Dockerfile and `docker
|
|
build` for generating images that you intend to share with other
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
**-a**, **--author**=""
|
|
Author (e.g., "John Hannibal Smith <hannibal@a-team.com>")
|
|
|
|
**-c** , **--change**=[]
|
|
Apply specified Dockerfile instructions while committing the image
|
|
Supported Dockerfile instructions: `CMD`|`ENTRYPOINT`|`ENV`|`EXPOSE`|`LABEL`|`ONBUILD`|`USER`|`VOLUME`|`WORKDIR`
|
|
|
|
**--help**

|
|
|
|
**-m**, **--message**=""

# EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
## Creating a new image from an existing container
|
|
An existing Fedora based container has had Apache installed while running
|
|
in interactive mode with the bash shell. Apache is also running. To
|
|
create a new image run `docker ps` to find the container's ID and then run:
|
|
|
|
# docker commit -m="Added Apache to Fedora base image" \
|
|
-a="A D Ministrator" 98bd7fc99854 fedora/fedora_httpd:20
|
|
|
|
Note that only a-z0-9-_. are allowed when naming images from an
|
|
existing container.
|
|
|
|
## Apply specified Dockerfile instructions while committing the image
|
|
If an existing container was created without the DEBUG environment
|
|
variable set to "true", you can create a new image based on that
|
|
container by first getting the container's ID with `docker ps` and
|
|
then running:
|
|
|
|
# docker commit -c="ENV DEBUG true" 98bd7fc99854 debug-image
|
