I am not sure what protocol does the "docker pull" or the "docker push " command use. When I try to access an image from a remote repository using the following convention
"docker pull http://my-repo/image-name:tag"
It fails with
http://my-repo/image-name:tag is not a valid repository/tag
But the following command runs with no issues
"docker pull my-repo/image-name:tag"
I have a requirement that I need the "http://"prefix in the repo-name. How can this be achieved?
Usage: docker pull [OPTIONS] NAME[:TAG] | [REGISTRY_HOST[:REGISTRY_PORT]/]NAME[:TAG]
According to this, docker uses https by default, unless your private repo allows otherwise.
In the same docs you'll find
A registry path is similar to a URL, but does not contain a protocol specifier (https://).
Explicitly prefixing http:// on your docker pull command is not a valid syntax.
