Description

Problem

The Docker build process for the fruit_detector service was encountering issues due to an excessively large build context. Specifically, unnecessary files and directories were being included in the build context, leading to longer build times, increased resource usage, and the potential for errors like max depth exceeded.

Solution

To resolve this issue, the .dockerignore file was updated to exclude irrelevant and unnecessary files and directories from the build context. This ensures that only essential files are included, optimizing the build process and reducing the likelihood of errors.

Changes Made

• Added entries to the .dockerignore file to exclude:
  • Version control files and folders (.git).
  • Dependency directories (node_modules).
  • Temporary and log files (logs, tmp).
  • Any specific directories that should not be part of the build context (e.g., fruit_detector_ws/src/aoc_fruit_detector).

Benefits

• Faster and more efficient Docker builds.
• Reduced risk of encountering recursion-related errors like max depth exceeded.
• Cleaner build context, improving maintainability and resource usage.
