One of the things that contributes to much of the confusion around Docker is the language that's used. You don't run docker push, to push an image up to the index.You haven't run docker login to authenticate via the command-line client.You haven't made an account on the public index.So let me start with this small assurance Nothing you do will become public especially if:
