Search and Pull an Image from Docker Registry Dialog Box
InstallAnywhere 2020 SP2
When you are configuring the settings for a Docker container, you need to specify the base image that you want to use for your Docker container.
The Search and Pull an Image from Docker Registry dialog box enables you to search for a Docker image and then pull it to your Docker engine machine for Docker container builds. The image source can be in a repository in Docker Hub or on a private Docker registry server.
To access the Search and Pull an Image from Docker Registry dialog box:
| 1. | In the Advanced Designer, on the Build page, click Build Containers. The Build Containers view opens. |

The Search and Pull an Image from Docker Registry dialog box opens.
