In most cases, it's best to put each Dockerfile in an empty directory, and then add only
the files needed for building that Dockerfile to that directory. To further speed up the
build, you can exclude files and directories by adding a `.dockerignore` file to the same
directory.

If a file named `.dockerignore` exists in the root of `PATH`, then Docker
interprets it as a newline-separated list of exclusion patterns. Docker excludes
files or directories relative to `PATH` that match these exclusion patterns. If
there are any `.dockerignore` files in `PATH` subdirectories, Docker treats
them as normal files.
Filepaths in `.dockerignore` are absolute with the current directory as the
root. Wildcards are allowed but the search is not recursive. Globbing (file name
expansion) is done using Go's
[filepath.Match](http://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath#Match) rules.

You can specify exceptions to exclusion rules. To do this, simply prefix a
pattern with an `!` (exclamation mark) in the same way you would in a
`.gitignore` file. Currently there is no support for regular expressions.
Formats like `[^temp*]` are ignored.
The following example shows the use of the `.dockerignore` file to exclude the
`.git` directory from the context. Its effect can be seen in the changed size of
the uploaded context.
The following is an example `.dockerignore` file:
```
*/temp*
*/*/temp*
temp?
*.md
!LICENCSE.md
```
This file causes the following build behavior:
| Rule | Behavior |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `*/temp*` | Exclude all files with names starting with`temp` in any subdirectory below the root directory. For example, a file named`/somedir/temporary.txt` is ignored. |
| `*/*/temp*` | Exclude files starting with name `temp` from any subdirectory that is two levels below the root directory. For example, the file `/somedir/subdir/temporary.txt` is ignored. |
| `temp?` | Exclude the files that match the pattern in the root directory. For example, the files `tempa`, `tempb` in the root directory are ignored. |
| `*.md ` | Exclude all markdown files. |
| `!LICENSE.md` | Exception to the exclude all Markdown files is this file, `LICENSE.md`, include this file in the build. |
The placement of `!` exception rules influences the matching algorithm; the
last line of the `.dockerignore` that matches a particular file determines
whether it is included or excluded. In the above example, the `LICENSE.md` file
matches both the `*.md` and `!LICENSE.md` rule. If you reverse the lines in the
example:
```
*/temp*
*/*/temp*
temp?
!LICENCSE.md
*.md
```
The build would exclude `LICENSE.md` because the last `*.md` rule adds all
Markdown files back onto the ignore list. The `!LICENSE.md` rule has no effect
because the subsequent `*.md` rule overrides it.
You can even use the `.dockerignore` file to ignore the `Dockerfile` and
`.dockerignore` files. This is useful if you are copying files from the root of
the build context into your new container but do not want to include the
`Dockerfile` or `.dockerignore` files (e.g. `ADD . /someDir/`).

### .dockerignore file
If a file named `.dockerignore` exists in the root of `PATH` then it
is interpreted as a newline-separated list of exclusion patterns.
Exclusion patterns match files or directories relative to `PATH` that
will be excluded from the context. Globbing is done using Go's
[filepath.Match](http://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath#Match) rules.
Please note that `.dockerignore` files in other subdirectories are
considered as normal files. Filepaths in `.dockerignore` are absolute with
the current directory as the root. Wildcards are allowed but the search
is not recursive.
#### Example .dockerignore file
*/temp*
*/*/temp*
temp?
The first line above `*/temp*`, would ignore all files with names starting with
`temp` from any subdirectory below the root directory. For example, a file named
`/somedir/temporary.txt` would be ignored. The second line `*/*/temp*`, will
ignore files starting with name `temp` from any subdirectory that is two levels
below the root directory. For example, the file `/somedir/subdir/temporary.txt`
would get ignored in this case. The last line in the above example `temp?`
will ignore the files that match the pattern from the root directory.
For example, the files `tempa`, `tempb` are ignored from the root directory.
Currently there is no support for regular expressions. Formats
like `[^temp*]` are ignored.
