COPY with docker but with exclusion
docker, docker-copy, dockerfile
Solution
Create file `.dockerignore` in your docker build context directory (so in this case, most likely a directory that is a parent to node_modules) with one line in it:
**/node_modules
although you probably just want:
node_modules
Info about dockerignore: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#dockerignore-file
Problem
In a Dockerfile, I have ``` COPY . . ``` I want to exclude an entire directory, in my case, node_modules directory. Something like this: ``` COPY [all but **/node_modules/**] . ``` Is this possible with Docker?
