ubuntu 16.04 - pull access denied repository does not exist or may require docker login

Question

I am using Laravel 4.2 with docker. I setup it on local. It worked without any problem but when I am trying to setup online using same procedure then I am getting error:

pull access denied for <projectname>/php, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

is it something relevant to create repository here https://cloud.docker.com/ or need to docker login in command?

After days of study I am still not able to figure out what could be the fix in this case and what are the right steps?

I have the complete code. I can paste here if need to check certain parts.

Answer 1

Please note that the error message from Docker is misleading.

$ docker build deploy/.
Sending build context to Docker daemon  5.632kB
Step 1/16 : FROM rhel7:latest
pull access denied for rhel7, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

It says that it may require 'docker login'. I struggled with this. I realized the image does not exist at https://hub.docker.com any more. I hope this helps someone.
