5. Creating DockerHub Account & Repo

info

DockerHub is a cloud registry where you can safely store and share your built Docker images.

Setup Steps​

  1. Go to hub.docker.com.
  2. Create an account, set a unique username, and choose the free plan.
  3. Once logged in, click the Create Repository button.

Create Repository

After creating it, your repository dashboard will look like this:

Naming Convention​

As shown, the repository namespace is hashcodes7/smallkart_customer. Consequently, the Docker image name you build must be compatible: hashcodes7/smallkart_customer:latest

Now that our DockerHub account and repository are ready, we can proceed to build the image.

Go to Building Docker Image.
