Download Docker Image From Docker Hub

When creating a container, the Docker image is downloaded automatically and stored locally. There might be a case, to download image manually without creating container. This tutorial shows how to download Docker image from Docker Hub.

Use docker pull command to download Docker image. For example, the following command will download the debian:latest image:

docker pull ubuntu:latest

If no tag is provided, then the latest tag will be used as a default. The following command is identical to previously provided:

docker pull ubuntu
