Hi@akhtar,

You can rename your docker image by docker tag command. Use the below given command to do that.

$ docker tag OldName:tag NewName:tag

Hope this will help.

Using this tag name it creates another image with same image_id. I can see two image with different names but same image id.

for me below command worked

docker tag oldName newName:tag
