-
 * Build a docker image with the app
 
 ```
-./mvnw clean install -Pprod

-* To build only the `api` module you can use this command:
-
-```
-./mvnw -f api/pom.xml clean install -Pprod -DskipUIBuild=true

-If this step is successful, it should create a docker image named `ghcr.io/kafbat/kafka-ui` with `latest` tag on your local machine except macOS M1.

+A successful build should produce a docker image named `ghcr.io/kafbat/kafka-ui` with whatever version you've supplied.
