docker information not complete

[ouboub]

the documentation states
docker build -f (path to csDockerfile) (path to context)

while the first argument seems clear, the second is not.
Please clarify

Both arguments should work the same way. Could you please explain what is not clear?

[ouboub]

Both arguments should work the same way. Could you please explain what is not clear?

docker build -f csDockerfile new
unable to prepare context: path "new" not found

so I presumed relative path is ok, that is wrong?

what does path to context mean, what is it supposed to be?

[ouboub]

Ok
the syntax should be in the main directory:

sudo docker -f csDockerfile context

context is a subdirectory!!!!
however that starts to install pkg from Ubuntu 18.04 and I am running Ubuntu 16.04, I hope that does not damage
my system.
Sorry, but the information/manual provided so far has not sufficiently be tested.

It seems to have run without mayor problem, however I don't see any change in the repository.

hg (I use mercurial) status

does not return any new or changed file.
Please clarify

Once you create a docker image with csDockerfile, you should have the ability to import all the dependencies (needed for the Python routines) without explicitly installing them. Here you can find the info about how dockerfiles work: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/

but as I said I run the command as indicated, it did a lot of things and then the repository did NOT change.
where is the generated file and what is its purpose.
I don't want to read a documentation, I would like to have some short explanations,
shall I mount this image, where is the image etc etc
