Unable to build a Dockerfile created by Visual Studio 2019 - Docker and Azure

After right clicking on my web api .NET Core 2.2 in Visual Studio 2019, and creating a Dockerfile, I found I am unable to manually do a docker build with a name and tag. What I get is a huge image (about 1.8gb) with <none> and <none> as an ID and tag.

These are the steps:

After creating the file, I run Docker from VS and that then creates this image: Snowdon...:dev (260mb). However, when I deploy this to Azure, the container terminates immediately.

If I run the image with another image using docker-compose this then creates a new image: Snowdon...:latest (269mb), then if I deploy this to Azure it works fine.

So, although I have this working in the cloud, I was wondering why I can't just do a docker build?

Here is the Dockerfile for my web api:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:2.2-stretch-slim AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:2.2-stretch AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["SnowdonAPI_05/SnowdonAPI_05.csproj", "SnowdonAPI_05/"]
RUN dotnet restore "SnowdonAPI_05/SnowdonAPI_05.csproj"
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/SnowdonAPI_05"
RUN dotnet build "SnowdonAPI_05.csproj" -c Release -o /app

FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "SnowdonAPI_05.csproj" -c Release -o /app

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "SnowdonAPI_05.dll"]

I am calling build from here:

DIR

To make this a solution for anybody else who comes across this:

If you manually want to run docker build on this, you need to execute this from the folder where your solution file (.sln) is located. So like this then:

docker build -f project\folder\Dockerfile -t mytag:1.0 .
