How to configure different dockerfile for development and production

Question

I use docker for development and in production for laravel project. I have slightly different dockerfile for development and production. For example I am mounting local director

You can use build args directly without providing additional sh script. Might look a little messy, though. But it works.

Dockerfile must be like this:

FROM alpine
ARG mode
RUN if [ "x$mode" = "xdev" ] ; then echo "Development" ; else echo "Production" ; fi

And commands to check are:

docker build -t app --build-arg mode=dev .
docker build -t app --build-arg mode=prod .
