NAME

       docker-tag - Tag an image into a repository

SYNOPSIS

       docker tag [-f|--force[=false]] [--help] IMAGE[:TAG] [REGISTRY_HOST/][USERNAME/]NAME[:TAG]

DESCRIPTION

       Assigns  a  new  alias  to an image in a registry. An alias refers to the entire image name including the
       optional TAG after the ':'.

       If  you  do  not  specify  a  REGISTRY_HOST,  the  command  uses  Docker's  public  registry  located  at
       registry-1.docker.io by default.

OPTIONS

       -f, --force=true|false
          When set to true, force the alias. The default is false.

       REGISTRYHOST
          The hostname of the registry if required. This may also include the port separated by a ':'

       USERNAME
          The username or other qualifying identifier for the image.

       NAME
          The image name.

       TAG
          The  tag  you are assigning to the image.  Though this is arbitrary it is recommended to be used for a
       version to distinguish images with the same name.  Note that here TAG is a part of the  overall  name  or
       "tag".

OPTIONS

       -f, --force=true|false
          Force. The default is false.

EXAMPLES

Giving an image a new alias

       Here  is an example of aliasing an image (e.g., 0e5574283393) as "httpd" and tagging it into the "fedora"
       repository with "version1.0":

              docker tag 0e5574283393 fedora/httpd:version1.0

Tagging an image for a private repository

       To push an image to an private registry and not the central Docker registry you  must  tag  it  with  the
       registry hostname and port (if needed).

              docker tag 0e5574283393 myregistryhost:5000/fedora/httpd:version1.0
