How do I push the docker image to dockerhub? I use docker push <myuserid>/hellodocker. This gives a 'no such id` error. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You either need to tag it as <myuser>/hellodocker when you build it, e g

docker build -t <myuser>/hellodocker:mytag .

or create a new tag tied to the same image, i e

docker tag hellodocker:mytag <myuser>/hellodocker:mytag

Answer 2

If you want hellodocker repository under myuserid namespace, you have to first tag your local hellodocker to myuseridlike:

docker tag hellodocker myuserid/hellodocker

And then push this myuserid/hellodocker repository to hub like:

docker push myuserid/hellodocker
