Please use the combined Dockerfile and docker-compose Filetype
Dockerfiles and docker-compose filetypes are now merged into one filetype. Therefore this filetype for only Dockerfiles files will not be kept updated.
Go to the filetype Dockerfile and docker-compose Filetype instead.
Dockerfile is a file format used to build Docker images.
Docker is a computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization, also known as “containerization”
This page describe how to add basic Dockerfile syntax highlighting on Geany.
Add the following lines to ~/.config/geany/filetype_extensions.conf under the respective sections [Extensions] and [Groups]
[Extensions] Dockerfile=Dockerfile;dockerfile;*.dockerfile;*.Dockerfile; [Groups] Script=Dockerfile;
Save the configuration file below in your Geany filetype definition files config directory, e.g. ~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.Dockerfile.conf
