Docker pull

Docker pull

docker pull downloads images from Docker Hub or other Docker registries.

For example, to download the latest nginx image, the command should be run like this:

docker pull nginx

This intrinsically assumes the image associated with latest tag. To download a specific version, the version info must be added to the image name with a colon:

docker pull nginx:1.15.5

Docker images can also be downloaded from registries other than Docker Hub by adding the registry address in front of image name:

docker pull myregistry.example.com/myapplicationimage

Or with a specific version:

docker pull myregistry.example.com/myapplicationimage:1.2.11
