How to trigger a specific gitlab ci/cd job on file change

I have this file hierarchy as below

/
run_docker.sh
Dockerfile
.gitlab-ci.yml

And the content of my .gitlab-ci.yml is as follows

stages:
  - run_script
  - build_image

run_script:
  stage: run_script
  script:
    - echo "script is running"
build_image:
  stage: run_docker
  script:
    - echo "building image"

These script tags are some examples I have put here (not real values) and what I want is, I need to trigger only the build_image job when I did a change ONLY to the Dockerfile and it SHOULDN'T trigger the build_image job.

How can I do this?

I had a similar scenario, and I ended up using the following condition:

  only:
    variables:
      - $CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE =~ /docker/

It is not exactly what you wanted, but it can do the job. Whenever I need to trigger docker image building job, I just mention [docker] in my commit message.
