Hi @nigelpoulton ,

I'm following thru your
Getting Started with Docker
course from pluralsight last updated 27 Oct 2020

I get this error when I try to build the image.

Seems like the Dockerfile has been removed?

Please advice how to fix this.

Steps done:

1. Forked this repo
2. typed ls on the command line
3. ls results:
   first-container multi-container README.md swarm-stack
4. ran docker build command:
   sudo docker image build -t <my_dockerhub_id>/gsd:1 --no-cache .

Error encountered:

unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: lstat <my_directory>/docker/demos/gsd/Dockerfile: no such file or directory

Environment

I'm running on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

With docker version: Docker version 20.10.14, build a224086

Thanks!

Oh, this is fixed, the docker file was in the first-container folder. My bad :)
