By changing this line above, we told Docker that this image is a stage. We will be able to reference it in other stages. We can copy specific files and folders from this image with the command COPY —from*=<stage_name>. Our Multi staging Dockerfile is starting to take shape. We need to add the Nginx stage, and we are done.
