Repository
Introduction
A repository is a set of images either on your local Docker server, or shared, by pushing it to a Registry server.
Images can be associated with a repository (or multiple) by giving them an image name using one of three different commands:
- At build time (e.g.
sudo docker build -t IMAGENAME), - When committing a container (e.g.
sudo docker commit CONTAINERID IMAGENAME) or - When tagging an image id with an image name (e.g.
sudo docker tag IMAGEID IMAGENAME).
A Fully Qualified Image Name (FQIN) can be made up of 3 parts:
[registry_hostname[:port]/][user_name/](repository_name:version_tag)
username and registry_hostname
default to an empty string. When registry_hostname
is an empty string, then docker push
will push to index.docker.io:80.
If you create a new repository which you want to share, you will need to
set at least the user_name, as the ‘default’ blank
user_name prefix is reserved for official Docker
images.
