Overview

docker build expects a Dockerfile and a context and uses the information provided to produce a Docker image.

docker build [options] <path>|<url>|-

The default location for the Dockerfile is the current directory, and the path is "."

The image such produced is placed in the local registry, using the repository name and the image tag provided with -t command line option. Note that if no -t option is use, the image will still be built, but the repository will have no name. For more details see [[]]

The Build Context

The build context is a set of file located in a path, or at an URL, which are specified in the build command line. The commands in the Dockerfile are relative to the context.

The URL may refer to Git repositories, pre-package TAR files and plain text files.

.dockerignore

.dockerignore

Options

-t, --tag

Specifies the repository name and optionally the tag to use to store the image into the local image registry.

docker build -t novaordis/centos-loop:latest .

If no name/tag information is provided, there is no default: the image may be stored with no repository and no tag, just with an image ID:

REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
<none>              <none>              4cfda3233bb6        5 seconds ago       204MB

Alternatively, if the only Dockerfile instruction is FROM, or ..., the name and the tag will be inferred from the base image.

If the name/tag combination already exists in the repository, the image they designate is "unnamed" and the new image that has just been built replaces it.

--rm

--rm=true

Remove intermediate containers after a successful build (default true).
