Unable to find docker image locally

Question

I was following this post - the reference code is on GitHub. I have cloned the repository on my local.

The project has got a react app inside it. I'm trying to run it on my local following step 7 on the same post:

docker run -p 8080:80 shakyshane/cra-docker

This returns:

Unable to find image 'shakyshane/cra-docker:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for shakyshane/cra-docker, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'.
See 'docker run --help'.

I tried login to docker again but looks like since it belongs to @shakyShane I cannot access it.

I idiotically tried npm start too but it's not a simple react app running on node - it's in the container and containers are not controlled by npm

Looks like docker pull shakyshane/cra-docker:latest throws this:

Error response from daemon: pull access denied for shakyshane/cra-docker, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

So the question is how do I run this docker image on my local mac machine?

Solution 1

Well this is anti-logical but still sharing so future people like me don't get stuck

So the problem was that I was trying to run a docker image which doesn't exist.

I needed to build the image:

docker build . -t xameeramir/cra-docker

And then run it:

docker run -p 8080:80 xameeramir/cra-docker

Solution 2

In my case, my image had TAG specified with it and I was not using it.

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
testimage          testtag            189b7354c60a        13 hours ago        88.3MB

Unable to find image 'testimage:latest' locally for this command docker run testimage

So specifying tag like this - docker run testimage:testtag worked for me

Solution 3

I received this error message when I typed the name/character wrong. That is, "name1\name2" instead of "name1/name2" (wrong slash).

Solution 4

In my case, the docker image did exist on the system and still I couldn't run the container locally, so I used the exact image ID instead of image name and tag, like this:

docker run myContainer c29150c8588e

Solution 5

In my case, I saw this error when I had logged in to the dockerhub in my docker desktop. The repo I was pulling was local to my enterprise. Once i logged out of dockerhub, the pull worked.

Agree @RichardBarber it was a mistake of mine. Thanks anyways for your help :)

Hey, I think this is not the right answer. The docker image is not public and so this user cannot download the image.

Hi (docker newb here), excuse my ignorance please. How did you print that top line of your comment, with the repo details??

[Seba99]

It's docker image list
