I'm creating a Dockerfile, but seem to be having some issues navigating to the folder of a cloned repo
My file contains the below
FROM ubuntu:latest
MAINTAINER cagnulein
ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
ENV TZ=Europe/Moscow
ENV MAKEFLAGS -j8
WORKDIR /usr/local/src
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y tzdata
RUN apt -y update
RUN apt -y upgrade
RUN apt update -y && apt-get install -y git qt5-default libqt5bluetooth5 libqt5widgets5 libqt5positioning5 libqt5xml5 qtconnectivity5-dev qtpositioning5-dev libqt5charts5-dev libqt5charts5 qt5-default libqt5networkauth5-dev libqt5websockets5* libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-xtest0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev build-essential
RUN cd ~
RUN git clone https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift.git
RUN ls -alh
RUN cd ~/qdomyos-zwift
I successfully clone the repo, and can confirm the folder exists, but I can't seem to navigate to it as I get the following
#13 [ 9/15] RUN ls -alh

#14 0.437 /bin/sh: 1: cd: can't cd to /root/qdomyos-zwift

Any ideas?
Tried
WORKDIR ~
RUN git clone https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift.git
RUN ls -alh
WORKDIR ~/domyos-zwift
RUN git submodule update --init src/smtpclient/
which fails with
#13 0.466 fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
#13 ERROR: executor failed running [/bin/sh -c git submodule update --init src/smtpclient/]: exit code: 128

Notice in your example that you already have seen the mechanism to set the current directory: WORKDIR.
Replace all of your RUN cd ... statements with WORKDIR /path instead. That's the correct way to set the current directory in a Dockerfile.
If you need to be in another place at the end of your build, remember to add a WORKDIR toward the end of the file to leave that as the working directory in the final image.
