.dockerignore is not ignoring listed folders and files

This is how my folder structure looks like

- myapp
-- public
-- other_dirs
-- docker // contain all the Dockerfiles and configuration files etc
-- vendor
-- .gitignore
-- .dockerignore
-- README.md

In the Dockerfile I use I have this in order to copy all my app within the container

FROM php:7.1-apache-stretch

COPY . /var/www/html

WORKDIR /var/www/html/

And this is the docker-compose file

version: '3'

services:
    app:
        image: myapp
        build:
             context: .
             dockerfile: docker/Dockerfile
        volumes:
            - .:/var/www/html
        ports:
            - 8080:80
        networks:
            - appnet

and this is how my .dockerignore file looks like

.git
.gitignore
vendor/

When I run docker-compose up --build and then exec to enter my app container, if I do ls -lah I can still see in the list the folders and files I have added in the .dockerignore file. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You are seeing the files because you are mounting the volume in the directory. To fix it, please take a look at: Make docker-compose ignore folder within volume
