Docker Compose does not allow to use local images

Question

The following command fails, trying to pull image from the Docker Hub:

$ docker-compose up -d
Pulling web-server (web-server:staging)...
ERROR: repository we         


        

Answer 1

One can reference the local image name without a tag as well

docker build -t imagename .

can be referenced as:

version: "3"
services:
  web:
    image: imagename

in the docker-compose yaml.
