Hi @silasb, this is very odd! The Docker image is definitely public on hub.docker.com. You should be able to see it here: https://hub.docker.com/r/surrealdb/surrealdb

Have you got any custom configuration which has changed the default/base Docker repository setup by any chance?

[tobiemh]

Ahhh @silasb if you run

docker pull surrealdb/surrealdb

first, and then run the command, does it then work?

[tobiemh]

This issue (incorrect initial Docker command in the documentation) should be fixed with #49.

We'll then need to change it in the documentation and the website.

Hi @silasb we've updated the README, and the website so that the initial Docker command should now work.

What was happening is that the --pull argument fails if the docker image is not already downloaded (as opposed to updating it). By removing the --pull argument, the image is fetched if it does not exist, but is not updated each time it is run.

Therefore the following command can be used to run the Docker image:

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start

To update the Docker image (if there is a newer version), you can use:

docker pull surrealdb/surrealdb:latest
