    I face the same issue. I am using docker version:17.09.0-ce.

    I follow below steps:

    1. Create Dockerfile and added commands for creating docker image
    2. Go to directory where we have created Dockfile
    3. execute below command $ sudo docker build -t ubuntu-test:latest .

    It resolved issue and image created successsfully.

    Note: build command depend on docker version as well as which build option we are using. :)

    Understand contexts

    The docker build command

    The basic syntax of docker's build command is

    docker build -t imagename:imagetag context_dir
    

    The context

    The context is a directory and determines what the docker build process is going to see: From the Dockerfile's point of view, any file context_dir/mydir/myfile in your filesystem will become /mydir/myfile in the Dockerfile and hence during the build process.

    The dockerfile

    If the dockerfile is called Dockerfile and lives in the context, it will be found implicitly by naming convention. That's nice, because it means you can usually find the Dockerfile in any docker container immediately.

    If you insist on using different name, say "/tmp/mydockerfile", you can use -f like this:

    docker build -t imagename:imagetag -f /tmp/mydockerfile context_dir
    

    but then the dockerfile will not be in the same folder or at least will be harder to find.

    You need to point to the directory instead. You must not specify the dockerfile.

    docker build -t ubuntu-test:latest . does work.

    docker build -t ubuntu-test:latest ./Dockerfile does not work.

    You can also run docker build with -f option

    docker build -t ubuntu-test:latest -f Dockerfile.custom .

    To specify a Dockerfile when build, you can use:

    docker build -t ubuntu-test:latest - < /path/to/your/Dockerfile
    

    But it'll fail if there's ADD or COPY command that depends on relative path. There're many ways to specify a context for docker build, you can refer to docs of docker build for more info.

    It's simple, whenever Docker build is run, docker wants to know, what's the image name, so we need to pass -t : . Now make sure you are in the same directory where you have your Dockerfile and run

    docker build -t <image_name>:<version> . Example docker build -t my_apache:latest . assuming you are in the same directory as your Dockerfile otherwise pass -f flag and the Dockerfile.

    docker build -t my_apache:latest -f ~/Users/documents/myapache/Dockerfile
