You can rename your docker image by docker tag command. Use the below given command to do that.

  $ docker tag OldName:tag NewName:tag

Or another way to rename docker container

To rename docker container, use the rename sub-command as shown, in the following example, we renaming the container discourse_app to a new name disc_app.
