Build a Docker image from a local Dockerfile or a Dockerfile object

Source: R/utility-functions.R

The method is implemented based on stevedore and includes some logging and defaults. If a Dockerfile object is given, it is saved as a Dockerfile to a temporary directory.

docker_build(x, tag, ...)

# S3 method for character
docker_build(x, tag = strsplit(tempfile(pattern =
  "containerit_", tmpdir = ""), "/")[[1]][2],
  the_dockerfile = "Dockerfile", ...)

# S3 method for Dockerfile
docker_build(x, tag = strsplit(tempfile(pattern =
  "containerit_test_", tmpdir = ""), "/")[[1]][2], use_workdir = FALSE,
  clean_up = TRUE, ...)
