The Dockerfile copies the entire source tree with COPY . ., which means any change to .git/, docs/, examples/, or other non-build files invalidates the Docker layer cache. Add exclusions for: - .git/ (changes on every commit) - Documentation and examples - Editor/tool configs - Development-only files

Fixes #1968
The Dockerfile uses
COPY . .which copies the entire source tree into the build context. This means any change to files that aren't needed for the build (like.git/,docs/,examples/) still invalidates the Docker layer cache.This is particularly noticeable with
.git/-- every new commit, branch, or tag causes a full rebuild even though the actual source code hasn't changed.The fix expands
.dockerignoreto exclude:.git/and.gitignoredocs/,examples/, and Markdown files.github/,.editorconfig, etc.)docker-compose*.yaml,config.dev.yaml)DockerfileitselfThis keeps the build context minimal and focused on what the image actually needs: Go source files, dependencies (
go.mod/go.sum),config.docker.yaml, andweb/templates.
