buildah-copy(1) 	     General Commands Manual		 buildah-copy(1)

NAME
     buildah-copy - Copies the contents of a file, URL, or directory into a con-
     tainer's working directory.

SYNOPSIS
     buildah copy container src [[src ...] dest]

DESCRIPTION
     Copies the contents of a file, URL, or a directory to a container's working
     directory	or  a specified location in the container.  If a local directory
     is specified as a source, its contents are copied to the destination.

OPTIONS
     --add-history

     Add an entry to the history which will note the digest of	the  added  con-
     tent.  Defaults to false.

     Note:  You  can also override the default value of --add-history by setting
     the BUILDAH_HISTORY environment variable. export BUILDAH_HISTORY=true

     --cert-dir path

     Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key)  when  connecting	to  reg-
     istries  for  pulling  images named with the --from flag.	The default cer-
     tificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d.

     --checksum checksum

     Checksum the source content. The value of checksum must be a standard  con-
     tainer digest string. Only supported for HTTP sources.

     --chmod permissions

     Sets the access permissions of the destination content.  Accepts the numer-
     ical format.  If --from is not used, defaults to 0755.

     --chown owner:group

     Sets the user and group ownership of the destination content.  If --from is
     not used, defaults to 0:0.

     --contextdir directory

     Build  context  directory. Specifying a context directory causes Buildah to
     chroot into the context directory. This means copying files pointed  at  by
     symbolic links outside of the chroot will fail.

     --exclude pattern

     Exclude  copying files matching the specified pattern. Option can be speci-
     fied multiple times. See containerignore(5) for supported formats.

     --from containerOrImage

     Use the root directory of the specified working container or image  as  the
     root  directory  when  resolving  absolute source paths and the path of the
     context directory.  If an image needs to be pulled, options  recognized  by
     buildah  pull can be used.  If --chown or --chmod are not used, permissions
     and ownership is preserved.

     --ignorefile file

     Path to an  alternative  .containerignore	(.dockerignore)  file.	Requires
     --contextdir be specified.

     --link

     Create  an independent image layer for the added files instead of modifying
     the working container's filesystem. If buildah run creates a file and buil-
     dah copy --link adds a file to the same path, the file  from  buildah  copy
     --link will be present in the committed image.  The --link layer is applied
     after all container filesystem changes at commit time.

     --parents

     Preserve  leading	directories in the paths of items being copied, relative
     to either the top of the build context, or to the "pivot point", a location
     in the source path marked by a path component named "." (i.e., where  "/./"
     occurs in the path).

     --quiet, -q

     Refrain from printing a digest of the copied content.

     --retry attempts

     Number  of times to retry in case of failure when performing pull of images
     from registry.

     Defaults to 3.

     --retry-delay duration

     Duration of delay between retry attempts in case of failure when performing
     pull of images from registry.

     Defaults to 2s.

     --timestamp seconds

     Set the timestamp ("mtime") for added content to  exactly	this  number  of
     seconds since the epoch (Unix time 0, i.e., 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970)
     to help allow for deterministic builds.

     The  destination directory into which the content is being copied will most
     likely reflect the time at which the content was added to it.

     --tls-verify bool-value

     Require verification of certificates when pulling images referred	to  with
     the  --from* flag (defaults to true).  TLS verification cannot be used when
     talking to an insecure registry.

EXAMPLE
     buildah copy containerID '/myapp/app.conf' '/myapp/app.conf'

     buildah copy --exclude=*/.md docs containerID 'docs' '/docs'

     buildah copy --parents containerID './x/a.txt' './y/a.txt' '/parents'

     buildah   copy   --chown	myuser:mygroup	 containerID   '/myapp/app.conf'
     '/myapp/app.conf'

     buildah copy --chmod 660 containerID '/myapp/app.conf' '/myapp/app.conf'

     buildah copy containerID '/home/myuser/myproject.go'

     buildah copy containerID '/home/myuser/myfiles.tar' '/tmp'

     buildah copy containerID '/tmp/workingdir' '/tmp/workingdir'

     buildah copy containerID 'https://github.com/containers/buildah' '/tmp'

     buildah copy containerID 'passwd' 'certs.d' /etc

FILES
   .containerignore/.dockerignore
     If the .containerignore/.dockerignore file exists in the context directory,
     buildah  copy  reads  its contents. If both exist, then .containerignore is
     used.

     When the --ignorefile option is specified Buildah reads it and uses  it  to
     decide  which content to exclude when copying content into the working con-
     tainer.

     Users can specify a series of Unix shell glob patterns in an ignore file to
     identify files/directories to exclude.

     Buildah supports a special wildcard string ** which matches any  number  of
     directories  (including  zero). For example, **/*.go will exclude all files
     that end with .go that are found in all directories.

     Example .containerignore/.dockerignore file:

     # here are files we want to exclude
     */*.c
     **/output*
     src

     */*.c Excludes files and directories whose names end with	.c  in	any  top
     level subdirectory. For example, the source file include/rootless.c.

     **/output* Excludes files and directories starting with output from any di-
     rectory.

     src  Excludes  files named src and the directory src as well as any content
     in it.

     Lines starting with ! (exclamation mark) can be used to make exceptions  to
     exclusions. The following is an example .containerignore/.dockerignore file
     that uses this mechanism:

     *.doc
     !Help.doc

     Exclude  all  doc	files except Help.doc when copying content into the con-
     tainer.

     This functionality is compatible  with  the  handling  of	.containerignore
     files described here:
