Docker image not found

Hi,

I was looking to install your software through docker, so I ran:

$ docker search ModelPolisher
NAME                      DESCRIPTION                                     STARS     OFFICIAL
mephenor/modelpolisher                                                    0
schmirgel/modelpolisher                                                   0
schmirgel/mpserver        Server Implementation for the ModelPolisher …   0

I tried to pull both images, but the command gave this issue:

Using default tag: latest
Error response from daemon: manifest for mephenor/modelpolisher:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

Is this correct? Should I use a different method to install ModelPolisher?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

The repos do not actually contain a latest tag, see here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/schmirgel/modelpolisher/tags
https://hub.docker.com/r/mephenor/modelpolisher/tags

Please note that the mephenor repo is no longer maintained.

For context: the latest tag does not by default represent the "latest" version of an image, see this blog post for explanation:
https://medium.com/@mccode/the-misunderstood-docker-tag-latest-af3babfd6375
Furthermore, keep in mind that when using the latest tag of an image, you open yourself up to possible breakage when newer/other versions of an image are released under this tag that may not be guaranteed to be compatible with your usage scenario.

That is why I have opted to not push a latest tag to begin with. If that causes problems for users we might reconsider this policy (@draeger Any opinions on this?), but for now I would recommend you to explicitly use the :2.1 tag.

I added a "documentation" tag on this issue because this should probably documented explicitly in our README.
