- ================================================
- ``build`` -- Build a container from a Dockerfile
- ================================================
- ::
- Usage: docker build [OPTIONS] PATH | -
- Build a new container image from the source code at PATH
- -t="": Tag to be applied to the resulting image in case of success.
- Examples
- --------
- .. code-block:: bash
- docker build .
- | This will read the Dockerfile from the current directory. It will also send any other files and directories found in the current directory to the docker daemon.
- | The contents of this directory would be used by ADD commands found within the Dockerfile.
- | This will send a lot of data to the docker daemon if the current directory contains a lot of data.
- |
- .. code-block:: bash
- docker build -
- | This will read a Dockerfile from Stdin without context. Due to the lack of a context, no contents of any local directory will be sent to the docker daemon.
- | ADD doesn't work when running in this mode due to the absence of the context, thus having no source files to copy to the container.
