The `docker push` command up until [v0.9.1](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/v0.9.1/api/client.go#L998) always pushed all tags of a given image, so `docker push foo/bar` would push (e.g.) all of `foo/bar:latest`, `foo:/bar:v1`, `foo/bar:v1.0.0`. Pushing all tags of an image was not desirable in many case, so docker v0.10.0 enhanced `docker push` to optionally specify a tag to push (`docker push foo/bar:v1`) (see https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/3411 and the pull request that implemented this: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/4948). This behavior exists up until today, and is confusing, because unlike other commands, `docker push` does not default to use the `:latest` tag when omitted, but instead makes it push "all tags of the image" For example, in the following situation; ``` docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE thajeztah/myimage latest b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB ``` Running `docker push thajeztah/myimage` seemingly does the expected behavior (it pushes `thajeztah/myimage:latest` to Docker Hub), however, it does not so for the reason expected (`:latest` being the default tag), but because `:latest` happens to be the only tag present for the `thajeztah/myimage` image. If another tag exists for the image: ``` docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE thajeztah/myimage latest b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB thajeztah/myimage v1.0.0 b534869c81f0 41 hours ago 1.22MB ``` Running the same command (`docker push thajeztah/myimage`) will push _both_ images to Docker Hub. > Note that the behavior described above is currently not (clearly) documented; > the `docker push` reference documentation (https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/push/) does not mention that omitting the tag will push all tags This patch changes the default behavior, and if no tag is specified, `:latest` is assumed. To push _all_ tags, a new flag (`-a` / `--all-tags`) is added, similar to the flag that's present on `docker pull`. With this change: - `docker push myname/myimage` will be the equivalent of `docker push myname/myimage:latest` - to push all images, the user needs to set a flag (`--all-tags`), so `docker push --all-tags myname/myimage:latest` Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl>

push
Usage: docker push [OPTIONS] NAME[:TAG]
Push an image or a repository to a registry
Options:
-a, --all-tags Push all tagged images in the repository
--disable-content-trust Skip image signing (default true)
--help Print usage
-q, --quiet Suppress verbose output
Description
Use docker image push
to share your images to the Docker Hub
registry or to a self-hosted one.
Refer to the docker image tag
reference for more information about valid
image and tag names.
Killing the docker image push
process, for example by pressing CTRL-c
while it is
running in a terminal, terminates the push operation.
Progress bars are shown during docker push, which show the uncompressed size. The actual amount of data that's pushed will be compressed before sending, so the uploaded size will not be reflected by the progress bar.
Registry credentials are managed by docker login.
Concurrent uploads
By default the Docker daemon will push five layers of an image at a time.
If you are on a low bandwidth connection this may cause timeout issues and you may want to lower
this via the --max-concurrent-uploads
daemon option. See the
daemon documentation for more details.
Examples
Push a new image to a registry
First save the new image by finding the container ID (using docker container ls
)
and then committing it to a new image name. Note that only a-z0-9-_.
are
allowed when naming images:
$ docker container commit c16378f943fe rhel-httpd:latest
Now, push the image to the registry using the image ID. In this example the
registry is on host named registry-host
and listening on port 5000
. To do
this, tag the image with the host name or IP address, and the port of the
registry:
$ docker image tag rhel-httpd:latest registry-host:5000/myadmin/rhel-httpd:latest
$ docker image push registry-host:5000/myadmin/rhel-httpd:latest
Check that this worked by running:
$ docker image ls
You should see both rhel-httpd
and registry-host:5000/myadmin/rhel-httpd
listed.
Push all tags of an image
Use the -a
(or --all-tags
) option to push To push all tags of a local image.
The following example creates multiple tags for an image, and pushes all those tags to Docker Hub.
$ docker image tag myimage registry-host:5000/myname/myimage:latest
$ docker image tag myimage registry-host:5000/myname/myimage:v1.0.1
$ docker image tag myimage registry-host:5000/myname/myimage:v1.0
$ docker image tag myimage registry-host:5000/myname/myimage:v1
The image is now tagged under multiple names:
$ docker image ls
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
myimage latest 6d5fcfe5ff17 2 hours ago 1.22MB
registry-host:5000/myname/myimage latest 6d5fcfe5ff17 2 hours ago 1.22MB
registry-host:5000/myname/myimage v1 6d5fcfe5ff17 2 hours ago 1.22MB
registry-host:5000/myname/myimage v1.0 6d5fcfe5ff17 2 hours ago 1.22MB
registry-host:5000/myname/myimage v1.0.1 6d5fcfe5ff17 2 hours ago 1.22MB
When pushing with the --all-tags
option, all tags of the registry-host:5000/myname/myimage
image are pushed:
$ docker image push --all-tags registry-host:5000/myname/myimage
The push refers to repository [registry-host:5000/myname/myimage]
