Is it possible to extract the files like app.py from a Docker Image saved on Artifactory?

Question

After a company Windows 10 upgrade I can't access my VM which has files on it needed for a deployment. I am wondering if there is a way I can get the actual files like app.py after pulling the image locally. Its stored on Artifactory.

You can use docker cp to do that. E.g., to copy /etc/hosts from a running container named foo to the local directory, you'd run docker cp foo:/etc/hosts .
