What

Fixes the Docker build command in the README. The repository root contains no plain Dockerfile — only Dockerfile.production, Dockerfile.config, and Dockerfile.test. As a result the documented command docker build . fails with "unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path" / "failed to read dockerfile".

Change

README.md (Docker section):

-docker build .
+docker build -f Dockerfile.production .

Why

Following the maintainer's suggestion in #251 to point at one of the Dockerfile variants that actually exist in the repo root. Dockerfile.production is the production image build.

Fixes #251.

The repo root has no plain Dockerfile (only Dockerfile.production, Dockerfile.config, Dockerfile.test), so "docker build ." fails. Specify the production Dockerfile explicitly. Fixes uc-cdis#251.
