1414
15- An image name is made up of slash-separated name components, optionally prefixed
16- by a registry hostname. The hostname must comply with standard DNS rules, but
17- may not contain underscores. If a hostname is present, it may optionally be
18- followed by a port number in the format ` :8080 ` . If not present, the command
19- uses Docker's public registry located at ` registry-1.docker.io ` by default. Name
20- components may contain lowercase letters, digits and separators. A separator
21- is defined as a period, one or two underscores, or one or more hyphens. A name
22- component may not start or end with a separator.
23-
24- A tag name must be valid ASCII and may contain lowercase and uppercase letters,
25- digits, underscores, periods and hyphens. A tag name may not start with a
26- period or a hyphen and may contain a maximum of 128 characters.
27-
28- You can group your images together using names and tags, and then upload them
29- to [ * Share images on Docker Hub* ] ( https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part3/ ) .
15+ A full image name has the following format and components:
16+
17+ ` [HOST[:PORT_NUMBER]/]PATH `
18+
19+ - ` HOST ` : The optional registry hostname specifies where the image is located.
20+ The hostname must comply with standard DNS rules, but may not contain
21+ underscores. If the hostname is not specified, the command uses Docker's public
22+ registry at ` registry-1.docker.io ` by default. Note that ` docker.io ` is the
23+ canonical reference for Docker's public registry.
24+ - ` PORT_NUMBER ` : If a hostname is present, it may optionally be followed by a
25+ registry port number in the format ` :8080 ` .
26+ - ` PATH ` : The path consists consists of slash-separated components. Each
27+ component may contain lowercase letters, digits and separators. A separator is
28+ defined as a period, one or two underscores, or one or more hyphens. A component
29+ may not start or end with a separator. While the
30+ [ OCI Distribution Specification] ( https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec )
31+ supports more than two slash-separated components, most registries only support
32+ two slash-separated components. For Docker's public registry, the path format is
33+ as follows:
34+ - ` [NAMESPACE/]REPOSITORY ` : The first, optional component is typically a
35+ user's or an organization's namespace. The second, mandatory component is the
36+ repository name. When the namespace is not present, Docker uses ` library `
37+ as the default namespace.
38+
39+ After the image name, the optional ` TAG ` is a custom, human-readable manifest
40+ identifier that is typically a specific version or variant of an image. The tag
41+ must be valid ASCII and can contain lowercase and uppercase letters, digits,
42+ underscores, periods, and hyphens. It cannot start with a period or hyphen and
43+ must be no longer than 128 characters. If the tag is not specified, the command uses ` latest ` by default.
44+
45+ You can group your images together using names and tags, and then
46+ [ push] ( https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/push ) them to a
47+ registry.
