How to run a pulled images - docker

Question

I'm trying to run a pulled image without any success. I pulled an image from AWS using the Image URI.

when I run docker images I can see my pulled image:

REPOSITORY                                           TAG             IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
alpine                                               3.9             055936d39205        3 weeks ago         5.53MB

I'm new at dockers, but from what I understand after pulling no need to build it, just run it but when I tried to run it like so: docker run 24325.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/lm/rd/tools I get the below message:

Unable to find image '24325.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/lm/rd/tools:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for 24325.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/lm/rd/tools, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'.

So I tried to build it like so: docker build -t 24325.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/lm/rd/tools and got the message:

"docker build" requires exactly 1 argument.
See 'docker build --help'.

What is the problem? How can I run a pulled image from AWS?

Solution

There isnt any image with tag "latest" Try running using the tag "dab-1.1.0slim"

docker run 24325.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/lm/rd/tools:dab-1.1.0slim

Or else you could run the docker image using image id

docker run -i -t f994713b61cb

Thanks! That worked. After running the image, I'm suppose to be inside the container , right? If I run docker ps I should see my running container?

[Bella]

I don't have it....I assumed that if I pulled it I have it. How can I get the dockerfile?

[Bella]

It seems to run but exits immediately form the container and not showing when I type docker ps. Any idea why?

[Sree]

no idea, create a new thread with all the logs from the container.

Wait, I'm totally confused, when I pull an image from AWS for example, I don't have the dockerfile itself, right? To run the container do I need the dockerfile itself? If yes, how can I get it?
