I try to build a simple image that uses the alpine linux image and prints "Hello StackOverflow!". What is the issue here?

Question

Windows PowerShell:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> docker images
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

alpine/git          latest              a8b6c5c0eb62        2 weeks ago         28.4MB

PS C:\Users\Administrator> docker build C:\dfiles

failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to read dockerfile: open /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount632819289/Dockerfile: no such file or directory

The path of where the dockerfile is stored: C:\dfiles

The code in my Dockerfile.txt:

FROM alpine
CMD ["echo", "Hello StackOverflow!"]

Does this answer your question? [Failed To Resolve With FrontEnd DockerFIle.v0](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64221861/failed-to-resolve-with-frontend-dockerfile-v0) If your Dockerfile is really called `Dockerfile.txt` this could be the issue — derpirscher, Nov 04 '20 at 11:03

Simple

Use just Dockerfile with no Extention instead of Dockerfile.txt

The code in my Dockerfile.txt

The file needs to be called "Dockerfile", not "Dockerfile.txt". So remove the file extension from your file and try again.
