I'm trying to change repository name of the image:
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE server latest d583c3ac45fd 26 minutes ago 685.5 MB
Hence I want to change the name server
to something like myname/server
:
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE myname/server latest d583c3ac45fd 26 minutes ago 685.5 MB
How can I do this?
You can rename your docker image by docker tag command. Use the below given command to do that. To rename docker container, use the rename sub-command as shown, in the following example, we renaming the container discourse_app to a new name disc_app.
Docker images can now be edited simply and reliably. This is an example of a Dockerfile for a Zabbix monitoring container. To change the image used by an existing container, we must first delete it, then edit the Docker file to make the necessary changes, and then recreate the container using the new file.
You may name your Dockerfiles however you like. The default filename is Dockerfile (without an extension), and using the default can make various tasks easier while working with containers.
docker image tag server:latest myname/server:latest
or
docker image tag d583c3ac45fd myname/server:latest
Tags are just human-readable aliases for the full image name (d583c3ac45fd...
).
So you can have as many of them associated with the same image as you like. If you don't like the old name you can remove it after you've retagged it:
docker rmi server
That will just remove the alias/tag
. Since d583c3ac45fd
has other names, the actual image won't be deleted.
As a shorthand you can run:
docker tag d58 myname/server:latest
Where d58
represents the first 3 characters of the IMAGE ID,in this case, that's all you need.
Finally, you can remove the old image as follows:
docker rmi server
