Docker build does not build or very slow

When you’re running a docker build command and it takes forever to build, you might have to check for the context of your buildfile. The legacy docker build sends all information to the docker daemon include the content of the folder where the Dockerfile resides in. When using docker-compose you can fix this by using a separated folder for the Dockerfile to avoid unnecessary files to be transferred. There is also a ignore file for this the dockerignore-file.

so far, akendo
