PS C:\Users\hp> docker build /path_to_cloned_repository/proxy/ -t whatsapp_proxy:1.0

failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to read dockerfile: open /var/lib/docker/tmp/buildkit-mount3731472316/Dockerfile: no such file or directory

Am i even supposed to run this in PowerShell or is there some other shell in docker desktop?
i didn't download the compose because i heard it comes already with docker windows installation.

path_to_cloned_repository is just dummy path. You need to use the path where the cloned repository is actually saved in your PC.

where do i find that?

[kartikwatwani]

For eg. If you open PowerShell and you are at C:\Users\hp and you run git clone https://github.com/WhatsApp/proxy.git whatsapp-proxy-repo. You will have to execute docker build C:\Users\hp\whatsapp-proxy-repo\proxy -t whatsapp_proxy:1.0

[Ebad2001]

docker build C:\Users\hp\whatsapp-proxy-repo\proxy -t whatsapp_proxy:1.0

ok then i got this

Might be related to #72 which just merged. Try git pull and running again

[eozturk1]

I think the issue is related to the current directory.

From PS C:\Users\hp>, try running

cd whatsapp-proxy-repo
git pull
docker build proxy/ -t whatsapp_proxy:1.0
