A Dockerfile mode for emacs
(add-to-list 'load-path "/your/path/to/dockerfile-mode/")

You can specify the image name in the file itself by adding a line like this at the top of your Dockerfile.
## -*- docker-image-name: "your-image-name-here" -*-If you don't, you'll be prompted for an image name each time you build. You may want to add the following to your emacs config:
(put 'dockerfile-image-name 'safe-local-variable #'stringp)
