Error on building Dockerfile to Image

Question

I have the following Dockerfile. I'm trying to build it to an image, but somehow I receive the following error: ADD service /container/service ADD failed: stat /mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder005872257/service: no such file or directory at Step 6/9. I don't know why... Can anyone help me?

RUN if [ -z "${LDAP_OPENLDAP_GID}" ];  then groupadd -r openldap; else groupadd -r -g ${LDAP_OPENLDAP_GID} openldap; fi && if [ -z "${LDAP_OPENLDAP_UID}" ]; then useradd -r -g openldap openldap; else useradd -r -g openldap -u ${LDAP_OPENLDAP_UID} openldap; fi

EDIT

After adding some ls commands in the Dockerfile I've seen the following line in logs:

Any idea how can I resolve this?

try and delete or revise your .dockerignore file. It makes it throw this error sometimes because it ignored the directory Docker file build is needing in some cases. — Afolabi Olaoluwa Akinwumi

The error means it can't find the directory which mean it probably doesn't exist or you are doing it the wrong way.

One of the things you can do is to make directory and add service to it. Below is a snippet explanation that could teach or help you:

RUN mkdir /container/

Then ADD service to the directory you created. Thus

ADD service /container/service

This can only serve as what could help to put you to track. However I will advice @mohan08p answer above because that works for me.
