Push Local Docker Image to Repo
To log in to Docker and push a local image to a repository (e.g., Docker Hub or a private registry), follow these steps:
1. Log in to Docker
Log in to your Docker registry (Docker Hub or other). If you're using Docker Hub, you can log in using command:
docker login
You'll be prompted to enter your Docker Hub username and password.
If you're using a private registry, specify the registry URL:
docker login registry.example.com
Replace with your registry's domain (e.g., registry.example.com
).
2. Tag the Local Image
Docker images need to be tagged with the repository name before pushing.
To tag your local image, use:
docker tag localImage:tag remoteImage:tag
Example for Docker Hub:
If your Docker Hub username is exampleuser
, and the local image name is myapp
with a tag v1.0
:
docker tag myapp:v1.0 exampleuser/myapp:v1.0
Example for Private Registry:
If your private registry URL is registry.example.com
:
docker tag myapp:v1.0 registry.example.com/myapp:v1.0
3. Push the Image
Push the tagged image to the registry:
docker push remoteImage:tag
Example for Docker Hub:
docker push exampleuser/myapp:v1.0
Example for Private Registry:
docker push registry.example.com/myapp:v1.0
4. Verify the Image is in the Repository
After the push completes, you can verify:
- For Docker Hub: Log in to your Docker Hub account here and check your repositories.
- For Private Registry: Access your private registry's UI or API to ensure the image is available.
