elastic/eland Docker hub image is missing.

Following the instructions in this repo, when I try to do:

docker build -t elastic/eland .

but it seems the elastic/eland image is missing from Docker Hub. This definitely worked a few weeks ago!

I checked on Docker Hub and the "elastic" user doesn't appear to have an image called "eland": https://hub.docker.com/u/elastic/.

And the page where eland would be 404s: https://hub.docker.com/r/elastic/eland.

Hello! While we're working on making a Docker image available (subscribe to #407 to know when it's ready) for updates, we never published a single image so far. What docker build -t elastic/eland . does is building the Eland Docker image locally.

Do you get an error when doing that?

I may be dreaming, but I'm sure the other week when I did something similar to:

 docker run -it --rm --network host \
    elastic/eland \
    eland_import_hub_model \
      --url http://host.docker.internal:9200/ \
      --hub-model-id elastic/distilbert-base-cased-finetuned-conll03-english \
      --task-type ner

I thought Docker had downladed the "elastic/eland" image from Docker Hub and then ran it locally with the supplied options. I may have misunderstood the mechanism.

But today, docker run -it elastic/eland .... errors with:

docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for elastic/eland, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied.

If you run docker build -t elastic/eland . first, this docker run command will find an image with the elastic/eland tag (the one you just built) and won't try finding a non existent image on the Internet.

Thanks that must be it! I wrongly assumed elastic/eland was a reference to a published Docker image. Thanks for the help.
