It is the Dockerfile. You let Docker build a Docker image using that file
(Docker looks to the directory specified and finds the Dockerfile, kind of
like make and Makefile). You then use Docker to run a process in the
container derived from that image. GRASS GIS is build as part of building
of the image. See the readme file for examples:
