This Dockerfile is meant to be used AFTER a build of nancy itself, hence the copy nancy /. We use the Dockerfile in goreleaser, and it runs after we've built the executables we need. It's not meant to be used locally, as we publish these images to Dockerhub. The reason we have a builder image is not to build Nancy, but to copy the ca-certs etc... into the scratch image for use. To this point, this is why there is no "build with Docker" instructions in our README.

OK, then this issue is not a bug, but feature request:

1. It would be great to have an ability to easily build Docker image locally. This is needed for testing the Docker image before commit and release. Maybe there should be a proper instruction how to build nancy before building Docker image. Just go build is not enough, because local environment may differ from the Docker one (e.g. Windows vs Linux).
2. It would be also nice to have an ability to build the Docker image locally without installing go locally.
