Getting following error while building image

Removing intermediate container 40e7e0172f54 ---> 5f2b3358b638 Step 5/10 : COPY files/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder076499369/files/nginx.conf: no such file or directory

Re-installing docker. Setting up context.

Add `Dockerfile` pls. Also the folder structure and `build` command. — vivekyad4v, May 02 '19 at 11:15
I am getting this same error -- I think the Docker client is not sending the build context to the Docker daemon properly, but am not sure why. — ryanwebjackson, May 30 '19 at 18:59
Just check, if nginx.conf is not at the same or below hierarchal level than the docker file — salsinga, Dec 05 '19 at 10:21

Check that you have the following files structure:

|-- project
|   |-- Dockerfile
|   |-- files
|   |   |-- nginx.conf

Also make sure that next to the Dockerfile you do not have a file ".dockerignore" and if you have one make sure it does not contain an entry for "files" or "nginx.conf".

Then it should work.
