How to specify different .dockerignore files for different builds in the same project?

by

Docker 19.03 shipped a solution for this.

The Docker client tries to load <dockerfile-name>.dockerignore first and then falls back to .dockerignore if it can’t be found. So docker build -f Dockerfile.foo . first tries to load Dockerfile.foo.dockerignore.

Setting the DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 environment variable is currently required to use this feature. This flag can be used with docker compose since 1.25.0-rc3 by also specifying COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=1.

from Mugen comment, please note

the custom dockerignore should be in the same directory as the Dockerfile and not in root context directory like the original .dockerignore

i.e.

when calling

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
docker build -f /path/to/custom.Dockerfile …

your .dockerignore file should be at

/path/to/custom.Dockerfile.dockerignore
