How to copy files from docker container to host using docker-compose in docker-machine

问题

I have reports generated in gradle container for my selenium tests, I am trying to copy the files from docker container to local host. As a work around, I have used docker cp to copy files from container to my local and it works. How to achieve it with docker-compose volumes.

Below is my docker-compose.yml

version: "3 "
services:
  selenium-hub:
    image: selenium/hub
    container_name: selenium-hub_compose
    ports:
      - "4444:4444"
  chrome:
    image: selenium/node-chrome-debug
    container_name: selenium-chrome
    depends_on:
      - selenium-hub
    ports:
      - "5900"
    environment:
      - http_proxy=http://x.x.x.x:83
      - https_proxy=http://x.x.x.x:83
      - HUB_HOST=selenium-hub
      - HUB_PORT=4444
  gradle:
   image: gradle:jdk8
   container_name: selenium-gradle
   build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: dockerfile

I run the command docker-compose up -> it runs the selenium tests and generates the report in the container.

Can anyone help on this?

The normal way to pass data from container to host is using docker volumes. In short you specify a host directory and map it to the directory inside container. And that directory should be used to save your test reports

services:
  selenium-hub:
    image: selenium/hub
    container_name: selenium-hub_compose
    ports:
      - "4444:4444"
    volumes:
      - ./path/to/report/folder:/host/reports

回答2:

1. Power off the machine in Virtual box -> Change the Advanced settings in Virtual box

2. Goto Shared Folders in Virtual box Give Path :: C:\DockerResults : Give a logical name for the Folder name

3. Restart the machine in DockerTerminal with the below command docker-machine restart default

4. After machine is started open the Virtual box Create a directory in the Virtual machine : sudo mkdir /Results

5. Mount the directory to the local windows machine by executing the below command in virtual box: Sudo mount –t vboxsf DockerResults /Results
6. Add volumes as below in docker-compose file

volumes:

    - /DockerResults:/home/Reports/
