RUN mkdir /scantailor-advanced
ADD https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced/archive/${SCANTAILOR_RELEASE}.tar.gz /scantailor-advanced/scantailor.tar.gz
RUN cd /scantailor-advanced && tar xzvf scantailor.tar.gz
RUN cd /scantailor-advanced/scantailor-advanced-${SCANTAILOR_RELEASE} && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" --build .. && make
RUN cd /scantailor-advanced/scantailor-advanced-${SCANTAILOR_RELEASE}/build && make install

Can you rephrase this part? I have no idea how the host path fits into all of this.

Note: you can not reference folders outside the build context (=usually the folder where the Dockerfile is location)

The COPY and ADD instruction can copy files that are either directly in the folder or any subfolder of the build context.
