Build an image

Build an image from a tar archive with a Dockerfile in it.

The Dockerfile specifies how the image is built from the tar archive. It is typically in the archive's root, but can be at a different path or have a different name by specifying the dockerfile parameter. See the Dockerfile reference for more information.

The Docker daemon performs a preliminary validation of the Dockerfile before starting the build, and returns an error if the syntax is incorrect. After that, each instruction is run one-by-one until the ID of the new image is output.

The build is canceled if the client drops the connection by quitting or being killed.
