I want to get some files when dockerfile built successfully, but it doesn't copy files from container to host.
That means when I have built dockerfile, the files already be host.
Copying files "from the Dockerfile" to the host is not supported. The Dockerfile is just a recipe specifying how to build an image.
When you build, you have the opportunity to copy files from host to the image you are building (with the COPY
directive or ADD
)
You can also copy files from a container (an image that has been docker run
'd) to the host with docker cp (atually, the cp can copy from the host to the container as well)
If you want to get back to your host some files that might have been generated during the build (like for example calling a script that generates ssl), you can run a container, mounting a folder from your host and executing cp commands.
See for example this getcrt script.
docker run -u root --entrypoint=/bin/sh --rm -i -v ${HOME}/b2d/apache:/apache apache << COMMANDS
pwd
cp crt /apache
cp key /apache
echo Changing owner from \$(id -u):\$(id -g) to $(id -u):$(id -u)
chown -R $(id -u):$(id -u) /apache/crt
chown -R $(id -u):$(id -u) /apache/key
COMMANDS
Everything between COMMANDS
are commands executed on the container, including cp
ones which are copying on the host ${HOME}/b2d/apache
folder, mounted within the container as /apache
with -v ${HOME}/b2d/apache:/apache
.
That means each time you copy anything on /apache
in the container, you are actually copying in ${HOME}/b2d/apache
on the host!
