docker-cp

Copy files or directories between host and container filesystems. More information: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/container/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 {{[-L|--follow-link]}} {{path/to/symlink_on_host}} {{container_name}}:{{path/to/file_or_directory_in_container}}
