Docker search finds image, but can't pull

Question

I need to build a 32-bit Ubuntu Image, so I do

➜  ~  docker search 32bit/ubuntu

➜  ~  docker pull 32bit/ubuntu 
Pulling repository 32bit/ubuntu
FATA[0001] Tag latest not found in repository 32bit/ubuntu 
➜  ~  

So what's wrong here?

Answer 1

32bit/ubuntu is not an image, but a repository containing one or more images, each identified by a tag. When you don't specify a tag, Docker defaults to the tag latest , but 32bit/ubuntu:latest doesn't exist. As we can see on the repository's page on the Docker Hub Registry , the only tag available is 14.04 , so you need to pull (and run) 32bit/ubuntu:14.04 .
