Dockerfile should be in its own directory about www-site HOT 6 CLOSED

I suggest to use .dockerignore and follow the "exclude all, add what is needed pattern". This is much better approach.

# Ignore everything
**

# Allow only these directories
!airflow
!common

from www-site.

Main reason is because you cannot add files from outside the context to docker context so you have to do weird things to add top files or files from not under directory where Dockerfile is placed. Then you cannot really do the usual docker build . -f Dockerfile but you either have to provide different context anyway or somehow copy over the files you need to under docker folder.

Good point, but AFAICT in this case there are no files needed...

Until they are :)

You can exclude everything then

.dockerignore

# Ignore everything
**

You should be joining the conversation on PR #60 where we have yet to decide the ultimate location
