Duplicate Docker Image ID in Multiple Repositories
I ran into the case where I had a duplicate Docker image ID that belonged to multiple repositories. This came about from doing a Docker tag and then a Docker push to get the image on my remote repo.
Output from: Docker images

Trying to run Docker rmi b5aba79a8ec6 throws:
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete b5aba79a8ec6 (must be forced) – image is referenced in one or more repositories
The Duplicate Docker Image ID Fix
To fix a duplicate Docker image ID you need to first delete one of them. Using Docker rmi is the way to go. I originally was looking for an option under Docker tag since that is the way you add the image to a repository.
So runningdocker rmi us.gcr.io/deployhub-v81/dh-ms-ui:latest deletes that image/tag combo.
For images that have no tag sbtaylor15/dh-ms-init <none> 162a3ed52aea you will need to run
Docker images –digests to get the full digest value.
