Run docker build - Cant not found docker file

Question

This is how I try to make use of Github Actions in relation to the project being built in Docker. I have look on this site here: How do I specify the dockerfile location in my github action?

That which I would like out of it. It is that it makes use of the docker File that makes in my project.

I have built like this in relation to my files:

API

• Docker

Service

Data

Test

However, it's the case that my Docker is in the API section.

I have tried this:

name: Docker Image CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:

  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Build the Docker image
      run: docker build ./API/ --file Dockerfile --tag my-image-name:$(date +%s)

and i have try

docker build . --file Dockerfile --tag my-image-name:$(date +%s)

Answer 1

If I understand correctly the correct path to the Dockerfile would be under the API

Also the context . is at the end

docker build  --file ./API/Dockerfile --tag my-image-name:$(date +%s) .

Answer 2

Try this with the "./" in front of dockerfile name:

docker build . --file ./Dockerfile --tag my-image-name:$(date +%s)

UPDATE:

After looking at Docker.com documents, I found the solution using Docker Compose. Just use:

docker-compose up
