Copying files from Docker container to host

I'm thinking of using docker to build my dependencies on a CI server, so that I don't have to install all the runtimes and libraries on the agents themselves. To achieve this I would need to copy the build artifacts that are built inside the container back into the host.

Is that possible?


In order to copy a file from a container to the host, you can use the command

docker cp <containerId>:/file/path/within/container /host/path/target

Here's an example:

[jalal@goku scratch]$ sudo docker cp goofy_roentgen:/out_read.jpg .

Here goofy_roentgen is the name I got from the following command:

[jalal@goku scratch]$ sudo docker ps
[sudo] password for jalal:
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                            NAMES
1b4ad9311e93        bamos/openface      "/bin/bash"         33 minutes ago      Up 33 minutes       0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9000->9000/tcp   goofy_roentgen

Mount a "volume" and copy the artifacts into there:

mkdir artifacts
docker run -i -v ${PWD}/artifacts:/artifacts ubuntu:14.04 sh << COMMANDS
# ... build software here ...
cp <artifact> /artifacts
# ... copy more artifacts into `/artifacts` ...
COMMANDS

Then when the build finishes and the container is no longer running, it has already copied the artifacts from the build into the artifacts directory on the host.

EDIT:

CAVEAT: When you do this, you may run into problems with the user id of the docker user matching the user id of the current running user. That is, the files in /artifacts will be shown as owned by the user with the UID of the user used inside the docker container. A way around this may be to use the calling user's UID:

docker run -i -v ${PWD}:/working_dir -w /working_dir -u $(id -u) 
    ubuntu:14.04 sh << COMMANDS
# Since $(id -u) owns /working_dir, you should be okay running commands here
# and having them work. Then copy stuff into /working_dir/artifacts .
COMMANDS

装入卷,复制工件,调整所有者ID和组ID:

mkdir artifacts
docker run -i --rm -v ${PWD}/artifacts:/mnt/artifacts centos:6 /bin/bash << COMMANDS
ls -la > /mnt/artifacts/ls.txt
echo Changing owner from $(id -u):$(id -g) to $(id -u):$(id -u)
chown -R $(id -u):$(id -u) /mnt/artifacts
COMMANDS
