[docker] Dockerfile if else condition with external arguments

Exactly as others told, shell script would help.

Just an additional case, IMHO it's worth mentioning (for someone else who stumble upon here, looking for an easier case), that is Environment replacement.

Environment variables (declared with the ENV statement) can also be used in certain instructions as variables to be interpreted by the Dockerfile.

The ${variable_name} syntax also supports a few of the standard bash modifiers as specified below:

  • ${variable:-word} indicates that if variable is set then the result will be that value. If variable is not set then word will be the result.

  • ${variable:+word} indicates that if variable is set then word will be the result, otherwise the result is the empty string.
