Just Remove the extension .txt from Dockerfile and run the command

docker build -t image-name 

It will work for sure.

Very cliche, but check if the Dockerfile is present in the current working directory.

Haha! I cannot believe that was the issue. Thanks! It's funny how such tiny things make such big issues. I was stuck with it for days
