docker: “build” requires 1 argument. See 'dock

问题:

Trying to follow the instructions for building a docker image from the docker website.

https://docs.docker.com/examples/running_redis_service/

this is the error I get will following the instructions on the doc and using this Dockerfile

FROM        ubuntu:14.04
RUN         apt-get update && apt-get install -y redis-server
EXPOSE      6379
ENTRYPOINT  ["/usr/bin/redis-server"]


sudo docker build -t myrepo/redis
docker: "build" requires 1 argument. See 'docker build --help'.

How do resolve?

回答1:

You need to add a dot, example docker build -t mytag . it means you use the Dockerfile in the local directory, and if you use docker 1.5 you can specify a Dockerfile otherwhere, extract from the help of docker build -f, --file="" Name of the Dockerfile(Default is 'Dockerfile' at context root)

回答2:

Did you copy the build command from somewhere else (webpage or some other file)? Try typing it in from scratch.

I copied a build command from an AWS tutorial and pasted it into my terminal and was getting this error. It was driving me crazy. After typing it in by hand, it worked! Looking closer and my previous failed commands, I noticed the "dash" character was different, it was a thinner, longer dash character than I got if I typed it myself using the "minus/dash" key.

Bad:

sudo docker build –t foo .

Good:

sudo docker build -t foo .

Can you see the difference?.. Cut and paste is hard.

回答3:

Use the following command

docker build -t mytag .

Note that mytag and dot has a space between them . This dot represents the present working directory .

You Need a DOT at the end...

---

So for example:

$ docker build -t <your username>/node-web-app .

It's a bit hidden, but if you pay attention to the . at the end...

回答5:

Just provide dot (.) at the end of command including one space.

example:

command: docker build -t "blink:v1" .

Here you can see "blink:v1" then a space then dot(.)

Thats it.

回答6:

On older versions of Docker it seems you need to use this order:

docker build -t tag .

and not

docker build . -t tag

Open PowerShelland and follow these istruction. This type of error is tipically in Windows S.O. When you use command build need an option and a path.

There is this type of error becouse you have not specified a path whit your Dockerfile.

Try this:

C:\Users\Daniele\app> docker build -t friendlyhello C:\Users\Daniele\app\

1. friendlyhello is the name who you assign to your conteiner
2. C:\Users\Daniele\app\ is the path who conteins your Dockerfile

if you want to add a tag

C:\Users\Daniele\app> docker build -t friendlyhello:3.0 C:\Users\Daniele\app\

回答8:

You can build docker image from a file called docker file and named Dockerfile by default. It has set of command/instruction that you need in your docker container. Below command creates image with tag latest, Dockerfile should present on that location (. means present direcotry)

docker build . -t <image_name>:latest

You can specify the Dockerfile via -f if the file name in not default (Dockerfile) Sameple Docker file contents.

FROM busybox
RUN echo "hello world"

Docker Build Command Format

In your powershell : There is this type of error because you have not specified a path whith your Dockerfile.

Try this:

$ docker build -t friendlyhello:latest -f C:\\TestDockerApp\\Dockerfile.txt

friendlyhello is the name you assign to your container and add the version , just use the :latest

-f C:\TestDockerApp\Dockerfile.txt - you want to add a tag because the build command needs a parameter or tag - The DockerFile is a text document so explicitly add the extension .txt

**Try this format :

$ docker build -t friendlyhello:latest -f C:\\TestDockerApp\\Dockerfile.txt .**
