Docker Engine uses a Dockerfile as an instruction to build a Docker Image
- malablaster 3y agoIn a software context, “build” implicitly means to use as instruction. The clarification was unnecessary.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoIs the program source is an instruction on how to run the program or how to build the program? What a compiler does with the program source?
- smcameron 3y agoThe confusing part was the non-idiomatic English "builds X to Y" instead of "builds Y from X". Edit: perhaps it is idiomatic somewhere in the world to say "builds X to Y", but not in the U.S., in my experience. Could be similar to British "different to" as compared to American "different than" or "different from".
