The `ufo docker build` builds a Docker image using the Dockerfile in the current project folder. This simply is a wrapper command that shells out and calls the `docker` command. We're use the [org/repo](https://github.com/org/repo) project and it's Dockerfile for demonstration. Example: ufo docker build You'll see that it calls: docker build -t org/repo:ufo-2017-06-11T22-18-03-a18aa30 -f Dockerfile . You should see similar output (some of the output has been truncated for conciseness): $ ufo docker build Building docker image with: docker build -t org/repo:ufo-2017-06-11T22-18-03-a18aa30 -f Dockerfile .

Took 33s. $ The docker image tag that is generated contains a useful timestamp and the current HEAD git sha of the project that you are on. By default when you are running `ufo docker build` directly it does not push the docker image to the registry. If you would like it to automaticaly push the built image to a registry at the end of the build use the `--push` flag. ufo docker build --push You should see it being pushed at the end: Docker image org/repo:ufo-2017-06-11T22-22-32-a18aa30 built. Took 34s. The push refers to a repository [docker.io/org/repo] ef375857f165: Pushed 4d791d7cde66: Pushed 277ff31e79b4: Layer already exists a361a4de05df: Layer already exists ufo-2017-06-11T22-22-32-a18aa30: digest: sha256:c5385a5084e87643bd943eb120e110321c59e8acd30736ba7b5223eb1143baa8 size: 3464 Pushed org/repo:ufo-2017-06-11T22-22-32-a18aa30 docker image. Took 9s. Note in order to push the image to a registry you will need to login into the registry. If you are using DockerHub use the `docker login` command. If you are using AWS ECR then you can use the `aws ecr get-login` command. ## Docker Build Options You can specify docker build options with the `UFO_DOCKER_BUILD_OPTIONS` environment variable. Example: $ UFO_DOCKER_BUILD_OPTIONS="--build-arg RAILS_ENV=production" ufo docker build Building docker image with: docker build --build-arg RAILS_ENV=production -t org/repo:ufo-2018-05-19T11-52-16-6714713 -f Dockerfile . ... Docker image org/repo:ufo-2018-05-19T11-52-16-6714713 built. Took 2s.
