fix(dockerignore): exclude local-only artifacts from build context#10015
Merged
Conversation
The build context shipped to the daemon included several large untracked directories the image never needs: saved image tarballs (backend-images), locally-installed backends (local-backends), the host-built binary (local-ai), the rust target/ build output, and host node_modules/protoc/tests. This bloated the context to ~23GB. Exclude them so only the sources the Dockerfile actually copies are transferred. backend/rust sources stay tracked; only target/ is ignored.

Stop docker from transfering GBs of build output into the context
