Docker: How do I pull a specific build-id?

docker dockerhub

I would like to always pull a specific version, rather than just the latest.

A random example: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/aespinosa/jenkins/builds_history/9511/

I am doing this because I only want to deploy versions that I have audited. Is this currently possible? Or am I forced to fork them and make my own?

You can pull a specific image by digest by using the following syntax:

docker pull ubuntu@sha256:45b23dee08af5e43a7fea6c4cf9c25ccf269ee113168c19722f87876677c5cb2

If you need to find the hash, it is output when pushing/pulling the image. Some automated builds output it at the end. I tried looking for the hash with docker inspect but it didn't appear to be there, so you'll have to delete the image and pull it again to view the hash.
