    Hi Berni,

    Don't worry, I'm here to help :)

    so again how to exactly create that file?

    You go to the terminal and do:

    touch httpie.Dockerfile

    Then you can edit it with your favorite text editor. In my case I use vim. So I'd run:

    vim httpie.Dockerfile

    , then put the content in there, save it and quit.

    For simplicity you may find useful 'nano', as in:

    nano httpie.Dockerfile

    Regards,
    Luis.

    Hi Berni,

    The error says that file httpie.Dockerfile isn't there. So, you need to create that file with the content on it, and then run the docker build command in the same directory where the file is located.

    Please check on this and let me know.

    Regards,
    Luis.
