Lesson 5.6 – Add a .dockerignore File | Django DevOps Series

Welcome to Lesson 5.6 of the Django DevOps Mastery Series!
In this quick but critical lesson, you’ll learn how to create and use a .dockerignore file to optimize your Docker builds, reduce image size, and improve build speed.

Just like .gitignore, the .dockerignore file tells Docker which files and folders to exclude when building an image—helping you avoid copying unnecessary files like __pycache__, .env, or .git.

🧰 What You’ll Learn in This Lesson:
✅ What a .dockerignore file is and why it’s important

✅ How to create a .dockerignore in the root of your Django project

✅ Which files you should always ignore in Docker builds

✅ How .dockerignore affects build context and performance

✅ Best practices for clean, production-ready Docker images

⚡ Why It Matters:

👨‍🏫 Perfect For:
Developers building Docker images for Django

Anyone working on production-ready web apps

Students learning best practices in DevOps
