Overview

Pull an image or a repository from a registry and place it into the local registry. By default the command pulls from Docker Hub.

docker pull <name>[:<tag>]

The command pulls each layer separately, and it will only pull the layers that do not exist in the local repository.

Example

docker pull registry.access.redhat.com/openshift3/jenkins-2-rhel7
Using default tag: latest
Trying to pull repository registry.access.redhat.com/openshift3/jenkins-2-rhel7 ...

Pull from a Different Registry

By default, docker pull pulls images from Docker Hub, but an image can be pulled form a different registry by specifying the registry path as prefix of the image name.
