Docker Build Image Action allows for the construction of a docker image from a Docker File and a Docker Context. The Docker File describes how the docker image should be constructed, while the Docker Context gives access to any required files to make the created image work. Subsequently running the docker image will create a container, an instance of the image created.
Name
A friendly name for this action (will be displayed in the actions workflow area).
Enabled
Determines if this action will be run within the relevant stage.
Docker Image
The name of the resulting image created from the Docker image build. This usually is in the format of {repository}:{tag} where the repository can take the format of {user_name}/{image_name}.
Docker File
Specifies the Docker File to use during the build The Docker File describes exactly how the image should be constructed. This should be contained within the Docker Context directory.
Docker Context
The Docker Context is a directory that contains extra files required to build the Docker Image, including the Docker File. If a file is missing from the Docker Context that the build requires and error will be generated and the build will fail.
Current Working Directory
The base directory from where all docker command should be run on the agent. If any relative directories are used in the Docker File, or any other scripts that it runs this will be the directory that they are based on. It typically is not a good idea to rely on this directory in Docker Files. All relevant files should be held within the Docker Context.
Using
The version of Docker to use when running the Docker Build command. It is important that the agent have the correct version of Docker installed for the Docker File provided.
