# There are 4 targets for each module or docker.
# 1. build -
#       First it build all the other dependencies defined in the module_dependencies variable.
#       Then it copies each dependencies to the module/packages dir
#       Last it calls to the build target of the module's Makefile
#
# 2. clean - Cleans the module by calling the clean target of the module's Makefile
# 3. start - Starts the module by calling the start target of the module's Makefile
# 4. stop -  Stops  the module by calling the stop  target of the module's Makefile
