I have the following dockerfile:

FROM nginx:1.21.3-alpine

COPY ./conf.d /etc/nginx/conf.d

RUN apk update && apk add git
RUN git clone https://username:token@github.com/username/test.com.git

RUN echo $(ls -l)

COPY ./test.com /usr/share/nginx/html

I am downloading the contents of the test repository. It contains the index.html file. Next, I try to copy the contents of the repository folder to the /usr/share/nginx/html folder, but I get the error:

COPY failed: file not found in build context or excluded by .dockerignore: stat test.com: file does not exist

I added the execution of the command ls -l and the list contains a test.com folder with the index.html file, but then why does the error occur?

dockerfile docker

COPY copies from the host machine.

Here you want to copy from inside the container. You do that with RUN cp instead. Change your statement to

RUN cp ./test.com /usr/share/nginx/html
