Historically, the Dockerfile had to be insde the build-context, because it was
sent as part of the build-context.
3f6dc81e10
added support for passing the Dockerfile through stdin, in which case the
contents of the Dockerfile is injected into the build-context.
This patch uses the same mechanism for situations where the location of the
Dockerfile is passed, and its path is outside of the build-context.
Before this change:
$ mkdir -p myproject/context myproject/dockerfiles && cd myproject
$ echo "hello" > context/hello
$ echo -e "FROM busybox\nCOPY /hello /\nRUN cat /hello" > dockerfiles/Dockerfile
$ docker build --no-cache -f $PWD/dockerfiles/Dockerfile $PWD/context
unable to prepare context: the Dockerfile (/Users/sebastiaan/projects/test/dockerfile-outside/myproject/dockerfiles/Dockerfile) must be within the build context
After this change:
$ mkdir -p myproject/context myproject/dockerfiles && cd myproject
$ echo "hello" > context/hello
$ echo -e "FROM busybox\nCOPY /hello /\nRUN cat /hello" > dockerfiles/Dockerfile
$ docker build --no-cache -f $PWD/dockerfiles/Dockerfile $PWD/context
