buildah-copy - Copies the contents of a file, URL, or directory into a container's working directory.

       Copies  the  contents  of  a  file, URL, or a directory to a container's working directory or a specified
       location in the container.  If a local directory is specified as a source, its contents are copied to the
       destination.

       buildah copy containerID '/myapp/app.conf' '/myapp/app.conf'

       buildah copy --exclude=*/.md docs containerID 'docs' '/docs'

       buildah copy --chown myuser:mygroup containerID '/myapp/app.conf' '/myapp/app.conf'

       buildah copy --chmod 660 containerID '/myapp/app.conf' '/myapp/app.conf'

       buildah copy containerID '/home/myuser/myproject.go'

       buildah copy containerID '/home/myuser/myfiles.tar' '/tmp'

       buildah copy containerID '/tmp/workingdir' '/tmp/workingdir'

       buildah copy containerID 'https://github.com/containers/buildah' '/tmp'

       buildah copy containerID 'passwd' 'certs.d' /etc

.containerignore/.dockerignore
       If the .containerignore/.dockerignore file exists in  the  context  directory,  buildahcopy  reads  its
       contents. If both exist, then .containerignore is used.

       When the --ignorefile option is specified Buildah reads it and uses it to decide which content to exclude
       when copying content into the working container.

       Users can specify a series of Unix shell glob patterns in an ignore file to identify files/directories to
       exclude.

       Buildah  supports  a special wildcard string ** which matches any number of directories (including zero).
       For example, **/*.go will exclude all files that end with .go that are found in all directories.

       Example .containerignore/.dockerignore file:

       # here are files we want to exclude
       */*.c
       **/output*
       src

       */*.c Excludes files and directories whose names end with .c in any top level subdirectory. For  example,
       the source file include/rootless.c.

       **/output* Excludes files and directories starting with output from any directory.

       src Excludes files named src and the directory src as well as any content in it.

       Lines  starting  with ! (exclamation mark) can be used to make exceptions to exclusions. The following is
       an example .containerignore/.dockerignore file that uses this mechanism:

       *.doc
       !Help.doc

       Exclude all doc files except Help.doc when copying content into the container.

       This functionality is compatible with the handling of .containerignore files described here:

       buildah-copy - Copies the contents of a file, URL, or directory into a container's working directory.

--add-history

       Add an entry to the history which will note the digest of the added content.  Defaults to false.

       Note: You can also override the default value of --add-history by setting the BUILDAH_HISTORY environment
       variable. exportBUILDAH_HISTORY=true--cert-dirpath

       Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) when connecting to registries for  pulling  images  named
       with the --from flag.  The default certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d.

       --checksumchecksum

       Checksum  the  source  content.  The  value  of checksum must be a standard container digest string. Only
       supported for HTTP sources.

       --chmodpermissions

       Sets the access permissions of the destination content.  Accepts the numerical format.  If --from is  not
       used, defaults to 0755.

       --chownowner:group

       Sets the user and group ownership of the destination content.  If --from is not used, defaults to 0:0.

       --contextdirdirectory

       Build  context  directory.  Specifying  a  context  directory  causes  Buildah to chroot into the context
       directory. This means copying files pointed at by symbolic links outside of the chroot will fail.

       --excludepattern

       Exclude copying files matching the specified  pattern.  Option  can  be  specified  multiple  times.  See
       containerignore(5) for supported formats.

       --fromcontainerOrImage

       Use  the  root directory of the specified working container or image as the root directory when resolving
       absolute source paths and the path of the context directory.  If an image needs  to  be  pulled,  options
       recognized by buildahpull can be used.  If --chown or --chmod are not used, permissions and ownership is
       preserved.

       --ignorefilefile

       Path to an alternative .containerignore (.dockerignore) file. Requires --contextdir be specified.

       --quiet, -q

       Refrain from printing a digest of the copied content.

       --retryattempts

       Number of times to retry in case of failure when performing pull of images from registry.

       Defaults to 3.

       --retry-delayduration

       Duration of delay between retry attempts in case of failure when performing pull of images from registry.

       Defaults to 2s.

       --tls-verifybool-value

       Require  verification  of certificates when pulling images referred to with the --from* flag (defaults to
       true).  TLS verification cannot be used when talking to an insecure registry.
