How to access contents inside parent directory through dockerfile created in child directory

Question

Main Project

Utils
Auth
MyProject
- Dockerfile

For MyProject to run I need to build the contents in Utils and Auth folder, How can I access those while being inside dockerfile of MyProject. I dont want to create the dockerfile outside MyProject

When you build the Dockerfile, have it copy those items into the container — Mike L, Nov 28 '22 at 05:01
For that to happen I need my dockerfile to be inside the `Main Project` directory, how will I do that by being inside `MyProject` ? — Ishaan Kanwar, Nov 28 '22 at 05:10

Running the context from Main Project Do the following docker build -f MyProject/Dockerfile .. -f flag specifies the path to the dockerfile you want to build. Everything from root folder will be included in the context now
