Does anybody know from where i can get docker base image with Solaris OS in it?

I tried finding it on Dockerhub but couldn't find one.

Please provide me the detail 'dockerhost/namespace/imagename:tag'

Short answer: NO

Long answer:

Since docker images share a kernel with the host, and Solaris uses a different kernel to Linux, a docker Solaris image would only work on a Solaris host.

Furthermore docker is not yet working on Solaris. More information on that on stackoverflow: Is it possible to install docker on Sparc machines?
