Step 2/3 : COPY src/ /var/www/html/

COPY failed: stat /mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder006125699/src: no such file or directory

Solution

I don’t see any problems with your copy command. Verify that etc actually exists in your working directory: ‘ls -la $(pwd) src/‘ before the docker build command

Your Dockerfile is unable to find the src/ relative path you set in the COPY command. Since you wrote a relative path, that path is relative to the location of the Dockerfile. Since you are building against . (your current working directory, which appears to be /mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder006125699), you should have a src/ dir, if not that error will occur.
