Building a Docker image is only part of the workflow. In real projects, you also need to tag the image correctly and push it to a registry so it can be deployed reliably.<\/p>\n

Docker Hub is a common registry for public and private images, and the process is straightforward once you understand build, tag, and push as separate steps.<\/p>\n

Build the image<\/h2>\n
docker build -t myapp:1.0 .<\/code><\/pre>\n
Tag the image for a registry<\/h2>\n
docker tag myapp:1.0 yourname\/myapp:1.0<\/code><\/pre>\n
Push it to Docker Hub<\/h2>\n
docker login\ndocker push yourname\/myapp:1.0<\/code><\/pre>\n
Why tagging matters<\/h2>\n
Tags let you track versions and roll back safely. Avoid using only latest<\/code> in production because it makes deployments harder to audit and repeat.<\/p>\n
