Without “.dockerignore” the whole directory where Dockerfile is in will be sent to docker daemon, which may be huge
And always create a “.git” entry in the file, because this directory can be very big.
P.S. Failling to do this may lead to the hanging of “docker-compose up”. It will show the following message:
docker.api.build._set_auth_headers: Sending auth config ('https://index.docker.io/v1/')You will wonder what’s wrong with your network, but the truth is that your context is too big.
