How to Build, Tag, and Push Docker Images to Alibaba Cloud Registry

Docker Official Registry

Follow these steps to create and manage an image on Docker Hub.

Build the image:

docker build --rm --no-cache -t tinywan/dnmp:php7.2-v1 .

Log in to the registry:

docker login --username=tinywan --password=tinywan123

List local images to verify the build:

$ docker images
REPOSITORY          TAG          IMAGE ID   CREATED        SIZE
tinywan/dnmp        php7.2-v3    3fd6c1dc1321   2 minutes ago   837MB

Tag the image for the remote repository: docker tag 3fd6c1dc1321 tinywan/dnmp:php7.2-v3 Push the image: docker push tinywan/dnmp:php7.2-v3 Pull the image from the registry:

docker pull tinywan/dnmp:php7.2-v3

Alibaba Cloud Registry (Recommended)

Log in to Alibaba Cloud Docker Registry:

sudo docker login [email protected] registry.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com

Tag the local image for the Alibaba Cloud repository:

docker tag ef20a9366f62 registry.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/tinywan/dnmp:php7.2-v3

Push the image:

docker push registry.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/tinywan/dnmp:php7.2-v3

Pull the image back:

docker pull registry.cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/tinywan/dnmp:php7.2-v3

public repository setting is required; otherwise you must log in before pulling.

Base Images

BusyBox Image

Ideal for experimental environments.

Provides a compact set of over a hundred common Linux commands in a single executable.

Runs on many POSIX‑compatible systems such as Linux (including Android), Hurd, FreeBSD, etc.

Combines simple tools (cat, echo) with more complex ones (grep, find, mount, telnet) – often called the "Swiss army knife" of Linux.

Example usage:

docker exec -it box001 bash

Installing Docker with USTC Mirror

Replace the default apt source with the USTC mirror and update the package list:

vim /etc/apt/sources.list

deb [arch=amd64] https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/docker-ce/linux/ubuntu bionic stable

sudo apt-get update

Installing Docker‑Compose in China

Docker‑Compose binaries are hosted on GitHub and can be unstable; the following command downloads a fast mirror from DaoCloud:

sudo curl -L https://get.daocloud.io/docker/compose/releases/download/1.23.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
