no such file or directory in COPY dockerfile - docker

I have made the following dockerfile to contain my node js application, the problem is that an error appears when building the dockerfile:
Sending build context to Docker daemon 2.048kB
Step 1/7 : FROM node:10
---> 0d5ae56139bd
Step 2/7 : WORKDIR /usr/src/app

Step 3/7 : COPY package.json ./
COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-
builder803334317/package.json: no such file or directory
this is my dockerfile:
FROM node:10
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 8080
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]
i executed the command:
sudo docker build - < Dockerfile
into my root project folder.
My project folder is simple, like this:
-Project
-app.js
-Dockerfile
-package.json
-package-lock.json
-README.md
I am doing something wrong?

When you use the Dockerfile-on-stdin syntax
sudo docker build - < Dockerfile
the build sequence runs in a context that only has the Dockerfile, and no other files on disk.
The directory layout you show is pretty typical, and pointing docker build at that directory should work better
sudo docker build .
(This is the same rule as the "Dockerfiles can't access files in parent directories" rule, but instead of giving the current directory as the base directory to Docker, you're giving no directory at all, so it can't even access files in the current directory.)

Missing file in my Dockerfile, whats the path its running from?

My git repo structure
app
- app.server
- server files
- app.client
- node_modules
- public
- src
- .dockerignore
- Dockerfile
- package.json
- package-log.json
I've set up CI/CD with GitHub actions but something is wrong in my Dockerimage for my client application (React)?
Error message: COPY failed: file not found in build context or excluded by .dockerignore: stat package.json: file does not exist
My .dockeringore file:

My Dockerfile:

My GitHub action command for invoking the Dockerfile:
docker build app.client/ -t mycontainerregistry.azurecr.io/appdb:${{ github.sha }}
This is part of a publish to Azure Container registry that I'm trying to learn. I guess the Dockerfile works, because before failing at step 4/9 it goes thru the Dockerfile:
Step 1/9 : FROM node:13.12.0-alpine
13.12.0-alpine: Pulling from library/node
aad63a933944: Pulling fs layer
... (and so on)

WORKDIR refers to the working directory in the container. The working directory on the host is still the root of your repo.

COPY failed: no such file or directory

I am trying to build an image by simply copying requirement.txt into it. My directory structure is as below:
- app
- Dockerfile
- requirement.txt
And my dockerfile looks like this :
FROM python:3.7
WORKDIR /home/app
COPY requirements.txt /home/app/
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
I am ensuring that the requirement.txt file is inside docker build context and there is no .dockerignore file which could be possibly ignoring this file. But yet I am getting this below error.
Sending build context to Docker daemon 3.072kB
Step 1/4 : FROM python:3.7

Command used for building the image : docker build -t test_app:0.1 .
Am I missing anything here?
WORKDIR switches working directory in docker image, but not in host.
COPY app/requirements.txt /home/app/
It works correctly.

COPY command fails

Been stuck on this for the last 3 days. I'm building an image in a docker and
copy command fails due to not finding the right directory.
FROM python:3.6.7-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY ./requirements.txt /usr/src/app/requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /usr/src/app

which is run by this docker-dev file:
version: '3.7'

dockerfile: Dockerfile-dev
volumes:
- './services/users:/usr/src/app'
ports:

environment:

and getting this error:

I don't even know where to start with debugging this. When I tried to access the directory it gave me permission error. So I tried to run the command with sudo which didn't help. Any thoughts ?
Little late to reply, but second COPY command COPY . /usr/src/app replaces the /usr/src/app content generated by RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt.
Try
FROM python:3.6.7-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
# install in temp directory
RUN mkdir /dependencies
COPY ./requirements.txt /dependencies/requirements.txt
RUN cd /dependencies && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /usr/src/app
# copy generated dependencies
RUN cp -r /dependencies/* /usr/src/app/
CMD python3 manage.py run -h 0.0.0.0
As larsks suggests in his comment, you need the file in the services/users directory. To understand why, an understanding of the "context" is useful.
Docker does not build on the client, it does not see your current directory, or other files on your filesystem. Instead, the last argument to the build command is passed as the build context. With docker-compose, this context defaults to the current directory, which you will often see as . in a docker build command, but you can override that as you've done here with ./services/users as your context. When you run a build, the very first step is to send that build context from the docker client to the server. Even when the client and server are on the same host (a common default, especially for desktop environments), this same process happens. Files listed in .dockerignore, and files in parent directories to the build context are not sent to the docker server.
When you run a COPY or ADD command, the first argument (or all but the last argument when you have multiple) refer to files from the build context, and the last argument is the destination file or directory inside the image.
Therefore, when you put together this compose file entry:
build:
context: ./services/users
dockerfile: Dockerfile-dev
with this COPY command:
COPY ./requirements.txt /usr/src/app/requirements.txt
the COPY will try to copy the requirements.txt file from the build context generated from ./services/users, meaning ./services/users/requirements.txt needs to exist, and not be excluded by a .dockerignore file in ./services/users.
I had a similar problem building an image with beryllium, and I solved this deleting it into the .dockerignore

No such file or directory, when building scala docker image

I have auto generated the following docker file with sbt for my scala project:
FROM robsonoduarte/8-jre-alpine-bash:latest
WORKDIR /opt/docker
ADD opt /opt
RUN ["chown", "-R", "daemon:daemon", "."]
EXPOSE 6999
USER daemon
ENTRYPOINT ["bin/app"]
CMD []
Yet when I run build . -t app I get the following error:
Sending build context to Docker daemon 166.2MB

Step 3/7 : ADD opt /opt

I have tried to reinstall docker as suggested in another SO answer, but that did not help. I am also using windows, and I cannot find the /var/lib folder.
The ADD command copies files from <src> to <dest>. In your case, Docker expects a folder called 'opt' from the location where you run build . -t app. Does such a folder exist?

Docker: COPY failed: CreateFile, looking for file in strange location

Trying to follow the tutorial found here, but running into problems.
I run the following command from my project dir:
docker build -t my.solution .
I get the following:

I don't know why it's trying to find the file in the location it's looking for it. Can anyone help me? Is there a config setting I need to make? My Docker file looks like this:

RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o /app

UPDATE
Per #AlexGera's answer, I tried changing my docker file to:
FROM microsoft/aspnetcore:2.0-nanoserver-1709 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
FROM microsoft/aspnetcore-build:2.0-nanoserver-1709 AS build

FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o /app
FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "my.solution.dll"]
but the error message doesn't change significantly:
docker build -t my.solution .

Seems to me the standard Dockerfile that comes with a new solution is bugged :/
I moved the Dockerfile up to the solution folder, from PowerShell:
mv Dockerfile ../Dockerfile
Running the docker build command from there did the trick for me...
The COPY command will copy the file from the build context, or a previous build stage if you specify the stage. With your build command:
docker build -t my.solution .
The context is . which is first sent to the docker engine which places that in a temporary location just for the build.
Therefore with your copy command:
Step 6/17 : COPY my.solution.sln ./
The file my.solution.sln needs to exist in the folder where the build command was run.
For the destination, the file will be copied to the working directory inside the container, or /src in your example.
This was probably caused by the .dockerignore file next to you DockerFile, ignoring everything but /obj/*.
Once you copied it to another folder you didn't copy the .dockerignore file, so nothing was excluded and it worked.
Before copying add a volume in your image to copy where to.
Something like this:
VOLUME C:/Users/mysolution
COPY my.solution.sln C:/Users/mysolution
Try not to use dots for directory names.
I found that same situation in a VS2017 Solution where the build is started by docker compose and yml files one directory above the project.
If you want to build by docker build with the docker file directly, you need to move the docker file one level above the context
Use the \\
FROM microsoft\\aspnetcore-build:2.0-nanoserver-1709 AS build
see the below example
FROM microsoft/aspnetcore:2
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
COPY bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp2.0 .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet","DOCKER-API.dll"]
I move my Dockerfile to the root folder (where exists .sln and .dockerignore files) and my problem was resolved
Perfect suits for who uses visual studio :
run this command :
docker build -t . your_application_name/Dockerfile
Dockerfile Copy path :
["your_application_name/your_application_name.csproj","your_application_name/"]
we run the build command docker build command it is unable to find the dockerfile in the project path location.
Visual Studio creates the Docker file at Project level, however, the Dockerfile is tailored to be run from an upper level (Solution level).
The easiest way to fix this problem is to go one level up (Solution folder), and specify the project folder:
docker build --tag tagone -f Project/Dockerfile .
