docker cp
Copy files or directories between host and container filesystems. More information: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cp.
- Copy a file or directory from the host to a container:
docker cp {{path/to/file_or_directory_on_host}} {{container_name}}:{{path/to/file_or_directory_in_container}}
- Copy a file or directory from a container to the host:
docker cp {{container_name}}:{{path/to/file_or_directory_in_container}} {{path/to/file_or_directory_on_host}}
- Copy a file or directory from the host to a container, following symlinks (copies the symlinked files directly, not the symlinks themselves):
docker cp --follow-link {{path/to/symlink_on_host}} {{container_name}}:{{path/to/file_or_directory_in_container}}
