Copying files from Docker container to host

Question

I\'m thinking of using Docker to build my dependencies on a Continuous Integration (CI) server, so that I don\'t have to install all the runtimes and libraries on the agents

Answer 1

Another good option is first build the container and then run it using the -c flag with the shell interpreter to execute some commads

docker run --rm -i -v :  /bin/sh -c "cp -r /tmp/homework/* "

The above command does this:

-i = run the container in interactive mode

--rm = removed the container after the execution.

-v = shared a folder as volume from your host path to the container path.

Finally, the /bin/sh -c lets you introduce a command as a parameter and that command will copy your homework files to the container path.

I hope this additional answer may help you
