Build app from dockerfile
Hey guys, I hope your day was great!
I've been trying out Dokploy, and it's an amazing tool, congratulations and success to the developers for such a good job.
I started using it with astro websites, and then I found myself in the need to publish an application in Angular.
I first tried with the default Nixpacks option, uploading the static files, and it worked, but there is a bad but normal behavior, returning 404 when refreshing the website or entering from a specific url.
To solve this, I decided to add a Dockerfile to my repository, which brings the nginx configuration necessary to solve the error, connect the repository with Dokploy, and from there, use the Dockerfile build type.
I admit that I'm new to Docker. As I understood, this will build the image using the dockerfile, and start the container. And it asks me for 2 fields:
Docker File
Docker Context Path
The first one I understand is the path to the dockerfile within the repository, but I don't understand what the second one is, and I haven't been able to deploy the container from the dockerfile.
I'm sorry to bother you with my question, the truth is I've been trying to investigate on my own, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Thanks for reading.

Hey the docker context is basically where's the entrypoint in terms of folder you want to run the application, if you are not familiar probably you will not needed it, this is more usefull for monorepos
can you share the structure of your project?
Here I share the structure of my project
in the dockerfile path just set
DockerfileThank you so much 🙌, putting the file name worked for me, I apologize and am sorry, it was a huge mistake and lack of knowledge on my part.
I was just using the "/" or "."
and putting random stuff in the Docker context path, that was the mistake.
