### Ignoring Files During Docker Build

Greetings & welcome back to our next adventure! As the Radar Board (the official SpaceBones government tech team) works towards implementing a true CI/CD environment, there have been reports of random files, directories & other “errata” interrupting the Docker automation process.

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Create `.dockerignore`

Student should edit the included .dockerignore file under ~/content-dockerquest-spacebones/salt-example/salt-master/ to ignore the following: badscript.sh, README.md and all conf files.

.dockerignore:

badscript.sh
*.conf
README.md

Build the Docker Image

Student should create a new Docker image named salt-master:deb via

  docker build -t salt-master:deb .

From within the directory containing the Dockerfile

Additional Resources

As our resident Docker expert, President Squawk & the Radar Board have requested your aid in "ignoring" a few configuration files in the ~/content-dockerquest-spacebones/salt-example/salt-master/ directory. Populate the included .dockerignore file to prevent docker build from including incorrect or unneeded files in the build. Once complete, only docker-entrypoint.sh should live on the new image.

Once you have populated .dockerignore, build a new Docker container image named salt-master with the tag :deb.
