unclear docker create instruction in syncthing/README.md

The docker create command given in the syncthing/README.md does not work:

% docker create -v /config --name syncthing_config myscratch true
Unable to find image 'myscratch:latest' locally
Error response from daemon: pull access denied for myscratch, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

It is unclear to me what's supposed to look like...

Thanks!

The README for this repository (dockerfiles) has the instructions for building the scratch (empty) container:

FROM scratch
LABEL "Maintainer"="<name> <email>"

Then:

docker build -t myscratch .

Now you have the myscratch container to create your data-only container.

Thanks for the heads up!
I followed the link from https://docs.syncthing.net/users/contrib.html#packages-and-bundlings to https://github.com/firecat53/dockerfiles/tree/master/syncthing. It presents the README.md in a directory with three files and looks self-contained because there's little indication that one has to look further up...
