This refers to the 15 entire image name including the optional TAG after the ':'. 16 17 # "OPTIONS" 18 **-f**, **--force**=*true*|*false* 19 When set to true, force the alias. The default is *false*. 20 21 **REGISTRYHOST** 22 The hostname of the registry if required. This may also include the port 23 separated by a ':' 24 25 **USERNAME** 26 The username or other qualifying identifier for the image. 27 28 **NAME** 29 The image name. 30 31 **TAG** 32 The tag you are assigning to the image. Though this is arbitrary it is 33 recommended to be used for a version to distinguish images with the same name. 34 Note that here TAG is a part of the overall name or "tag". 35 36 # OPTIONS 37 **-f**, **--force**=*true*|*false* 38 Force. The default is *false*. 39 40 # EXAMPLES 41 42 ## Giving an image a new alias 43 44 Here is an example of aliasing an image (e.g., 0e5574283393) as "httpd" and 45 tagging it into the "fedora" repository with "version1.0": 46 47 docker tag 0e5574283393 fedora/httpd:version1.0 48 49 ## Tagging an image for a private repository 50 51 To push an image to an private registry and not the central Docker 52 registry you must tag it with the registry hostname and port (if needed). 53 54 docker tag 0e5574283393 myregistryhost:5000/fedora/httpd:version1.0 55 56 # HISTORY 57 April 2014, Originally compiled by William Henry (whenry at redhat dot com) 58 based on docker.com source material and internal work. 59 June 2014, updated by Sven Dowideit <SvenDowideit@home.org.au> 60 July 2014, updated by Sven Dowideit <SvenDowideit@home.org.au>
