Via Settings dialog

Path to the inspection settings via IntelliJ Platform IDE Settings dialog, when you need to adjust inspection settings directly from your IDE.

Settings or Preferences | Editor | Inspections | Dockerfile

Examples:

  # the command below will fail
  RUN /bin/bash -c 'source $HOME/.bashrc;
      echo $HOME'

      echo $HOME'
