I'm trying to copy an image from Dockerhub to Bluemix registry by following the doc at https://new-console.eu-gb.bluemix.net/docs/containers/container_images_copying.html
I installed cf-cli and the IBM-Containers plugins on my Mac (OSX 10.11.6):
$ cf --version
cf version 6.21.0+dff2cf8-2016-07-27
$ cf plugins

However, when I try to copy an image, or to list the existing images, there is an error:
$ cf ic cpi gitlab/gitlab-ce:8.10.7-ce.0 registry.eu-gb.bluemix.net/gitlab-ce:8.10.7-ce.0
FAILED
The IBM Containers CLI must be initialized. Run "cf ic init" to initialize it.
$ cf ic images
FAILED
The IBM Containers CLI must be initialized. Run "cf ic init" to initialize it.
Any idea?
Oh, turn out I have to create a container registry namespace first. It can be done by trying to create a container in the web console. Select an existing image, say ibmliberty, and it will ask for creating a namespace for the current organisation.
After the namespace is created, run cf ic init, then the other commands will succeed as expected.
