How can I find a Docker image with a specific tag in Docker registry on the Docker command line?

Question

I try to locate one specific tag for a Docker image. How can I do it on the command line? I want to avoid downloading all the images and then removing the unneeded ones.

You can use Visual Studio Code to provide autocomplete for available Docker images and tags. However, this requires that you type the first letter of a tag in order to see autocomplete suggestions.

For example, when writing FROM ubuntu it offers autocomplete suggestions like ubuntu, ubuntu-debootstrap and ubuntu-upstart. When writing FROM ubuntu:a it offers autocomplete suggestions, like ubuntu:artful and ubuntu:artful-20170511.1
