Support "docker pull" on "FROM" images in Dockerfile

Closed this issue · 3 comments

If I use latest (or none) tag in the FROM statement remote images is not updated if I have an existing local image.
Would be nice if the default behaviour was to pull the remote image if needed, perhaps being able to disable with a flag --no-pull ?

Would be nice even if using a specific version if patch-levels (eg. 3.6.10) also update minor-versions (eg. 3.6) and majors (eg. 3) for example.

Sounds nice but probably a harder/more error-prone feature? Perhaps a new issue for that?

I think this change solves the problem with patch-levels etc. as well since it will always try to pull parents, right?
