Docker how to change repository name or rename image?

Question

I\'m trying to change repository name of the image:

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             VIRTUAL SIZE
server               


        

Answer 1

To rename an image, you give it a new tag, and then remove the old tag using the ‘rmi’ command:

$ docker tag $ docker rmi

This second step is scary, as ‘rmi’ means “remove image”. However, docker won’t actually remove the image if it has any other tags. That is, if you were to immediately follow this with: docker rmi , then it would actually remove the image (assuming there are no other tags assigned to the image)
