pull

The pull command syncs an image from a remote registry to your local registry.

Usage: pull <options> [<namespace>/]<image>[:<release>]

<options> available:
      --all-users            Applies the configuration settings to all users
      --cache                Populates the executable cache
      --force                Forces the image to be downloaded even if it exists locally
      --format=VALUE         Use the specified format for output. Supported values: json
      --precache             Populates the executable cache
      --wait-after-error     Leave session open after error
      --wait-after-exit      Leave session open after it exits

The image to pull can be specified with up to 3 identifiers, only 1 of which (the name) is mandatory:

  • Namespace (user or org on the remote hub)
  • Name of the remote repository
  • Tag

If a namespace is not specified then it will default to that of the current user.

If a tag is not specified then the head tag is applied.

JSON output

When --format=json option was passed this command will provide output in JSON format. It will contain either an image object with information about pulled image or an error object if command failed.
