I'm trying to push my docker image up into the public docker registry:

$ docker login

$ docker push binarybana/dev-fedora

Do you really want to push to public registry? [Y/n]: Y
The push refers to a repository [docker.io/binarybana/dev-fedora] (len: 0)
FATA[0001] Repository does not exist: docker.io/binarybana/dev-fedora 

$ docker push binarybana/fedora-dev

Do you really want to push to public registry? [Y/n]: Y
The push refers to a repository [docker.io/binarybana/fedora-dev] (len: 0)
FATA[0002] Repository does not exist: docker.io/binarybana/fedora-dev

Yet, I've already created the repository (viewable here). And I've also tried to push to repository names that I haven't already created (the first try in the example above).

I think the (len: 0) has something to do with it, but I can't google it. Also I originally created the image from a dockerfile as:

docker build -t binarybana/fedora-dev .

Thanks.

Always build your image with "username" and "tag"

docker build -t <username>/dev-fedora:latest .

After building push the image

docker push <username>/dev-fedora:latest
