Images

Images are read-only templates for containers that are composed of several layers. Typically new images are build on top of existing ones.

Useful commands are:

docker image ls # list images
docker rmi <image> # remove image
docker save <image> > <img>.tar # save image as tar

To publish and image to dockerhub:

docker tag <local image[:tag]> <remote image[:tag]>
docker push <remote image[:tag]>

If a non-existing base image needs to be created, tools like Deboostrap or supermin are helpful.
