BuildKit based build is required so you need to enable it.
Easiest way is to set the DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 environment variable when invoking the docker build command, such as:
$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -f Dockerfile.core . -t spring4shell-core && docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 spring4shell-core
Otherwise to enable docker BuildKit by default, set daemon configuration in /etc/docker/daemon.json feature to true and restart the daemon:
{ "features": { "buildkit": true } }
This way you can execute simply
$ docker build -f Dockerfile.core . -t spring4shell-core && docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 spring4shell-core
