Unable to find docker image locally

I was following this post - the reference code is on GitHub. I have cloned the repository on my local.

The project has got a react app inside it. I'm trying to run it on my local following step 7 on the same post:

docker run -p 8080:80 shakyshane/cra-docker

This returns:

Unable to find image 'shakyshane/cra-docker:latest' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for shakyshane/cra-docker, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'.
See 'docker run --help'.

I tried login to docker again but looks like since it belongs to @shakyShane I cannot access it.

I idiotically tried npm start too but it's not a simple react app running on node - it's in the container and containers are not controlled by npm

Looks like docker pull shakyshane/cra-docker:latest throws this:

Error response from daemon: pull access denied for shakyshane/cra-docker, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

So the question is how do I run this docker image on my local mac machine?

So the problem was that I was trying to run a docker image which doesn't exist.

I needed to build the image:

docker build . -t xameeramir/cra-docker

And then run it:

docker run -p 8080:80 xameeramir/cra-docker

In my case, my image had TAG specified with it and I was not using it.

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
testimage          testtag            189b7354c60a        13 hours ago        88.3MB

Unable to find image 'testimage:latest' locally for this command docker run testimage

So specifying tag like this - docker run testimage:testtag worked for me

I received this error message when I typed the name/character wrong. That is, "name1\name2" instead of "name1/name2" (wrong slash).

In my case, the docker image did exist on the system and still I couldn't run the container locally, so I used the exact image ID instead of image name and tag, like this:

docker run myContainer c29150c8588e

Posting my solution since non of the above worked. Working on macbook M1 pro.

The issue I had is that the image was built as arm/64. And I was running the command:

docker run --platform=linux/amd64 ...

So I had to build the image for amd/64 platform in order to run it.

Command below:

docker buildx build --platform=linux/amd64 ...

In conclusion your docker image platform and docker run platform needs to be the same from what I experienced.

In my case, I saw this error when I had logged in to the dockerhub in my docker desktop. The repo I was pulling was local to my enterprise. Once i logged out of dockerhub, the pull worked.

This just happened to me because my local docker vm on macos ran out of disk space.

I just deleted some old images using docker image prune and it started working correctly again.

shakyshane/cra-docker Does not exist in that user's repo https://hub.docker.com/u/shakyshane/

The problem is you are trying to run an imagen that does not exists. If you are executing a Dockerfile, the image was not created until Dockerfile pass with no errors; so when Dockerfile tries to run the image, it can't find it. Be sure you have no errors in the execution of your scripts.

The simplest answer can be the correct one!.. make sure you have permissions to execute the command, use:

sudo docker run -p 8080:80 shakyshane/cra-docker

In my case, I didn't realise there was a difference between docker run and docker start, and I kept using the run command when I should've been using the start command.

FYI, run is for building and creating the docker container, start is to just start a stopped container

You can list all tags in CLI with this command:

docker image list
