docker build with Dockerfile, but the image has no name or tag

Question

I installed Docker desktop for mac. The version is 1.12.0-rc4-beta19

when I use docker build -t self/centos:java8 .

the image has no name or tag

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
<none>              <none>              1581ffcbfd7f        5 minutes ago       196.8 MB

What is wrong with the build command?

is your image building correctly? the name does not get set when there is an error in the build. This because every step in the build is a new image created and with an error you won't get to the last step with the correctly named image

btw you can set it manually with the tag command https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/tag/

how to know if there is an error while building up? for me it is showing `Successfully built` but shows : – Vishrant Jan 17 '18 at 04:01
@Vishrant, in general you can see the build output (and don't use `-q` or `--quiet`). – Darius Feb 02 '18 at 14:33
I am getting a successfull built and if i immediately run docker run command i see the name but some how after sometime the name is getting set to none. can someone please help? – Shashank Srivastava Aug 02 '20 at 16:44

This solved my problem. If your build ends in something like `Running in e3e4cc0a2264` then it means that your docker image hasn't finished building because there's a command that is "hanging" (in my case a python script that hadn't finished). – joe Mar 01 '21 at 13:56

Tag an image referenced by ID To tag a local image with ID “0e5574283393” into the “fedora” repository with “version1.0”:

docker tag 0e5574283393 ExampleApps/myapp:version1.0

I know it's years later, but people still find this question via search and here's another reason for that error.

I mistakenly reused a build command without changing the tag parameter. It appears that the new build will take the tag, and the old one will switch to the double none.

I was also confused. I always had the image with the name . Until I looked at the error message. A big thank you here to @Zeromus.

Step 4/8 : COPY package*.json ./
COPY failed: no source files were specified

That was the error for me. I accidentally had my Dockerfile in the wrong folder. Ok, I'm sure this doesn't happen to many people, but for those who are also wondering. It can be a possible error.

Otherwise, if it happens: it's an error in your Dockerfile.
