How to get to Docker Hub for an image from command line?

I used the following command: docker pull balenalib/beaglebone-black:latest

I am now trying to find the page for this image on Docker Hub. I search balenalib/beaglebone-black:latest and thousands of results come up, but seemingly not the one I typed in.

I finally found it here by manipulating the URL directly.

Is there a better way to do this? Can I get to that URL by using a command from terminal?

For Docker's registry's web fronted (https://hub.docker.com), there are two primary 'views':

Users|Organizations: e.g. https://hub.docker.com/u/balenalib

NB "hub.docker.com/u/"

Users'|Organizations' Images e.g. https://hub.docker.com/r/balenalib/beaglebone-black

NB "hub.docker.com/r/"

In the case of Docker's registry, the docker pull includes an implicit|optional docker.io/ prefix as it defaults to Docker's registry but there are other registries:

docker pull docker.io/balenalib/beaglebone-black:latest

So there's a form docker pull [registry]/[user]/[image]:[tag]

And, if you're using Linux and Chrome, you could browse to it on DockerHub using:

USER=balenalib         # for example
IMAGE=beaglebone-black # for example

google-chrome https://hub.docker.com/r/${USER}/${IMAGE}

NB I find this a confusing use of similar terms, but a registry (such as Docker's) includes many repositories. In your example, using the Docker registry, balenalib/beaglebone-black is one repository in it.
