buildah-copy(1) General Commands Manual buildah-copy(1) NAME buildah-copy - Copies the contents of a file, URL, or directory into a container'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 des- tination. OPTIONS --add-history Add an entry to the history which will note the digest of the added content. Defaults to false. Note: You can also override the default value of --add-history by set- ting the BUILDAH_HISTORY environment variable. export BUILDAH_HIS- TORY=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 certificates directory is /etc/containers/certs.d. --checksum checksum Checksum the source content. The value of checksum must be a standard container digest string. Only supported for HTTP sources. --chmod permissions Sets the access permissions of the destination content. Accepts the numerical 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 specified 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 recog- nized 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. --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 im- ages from registry. Defaults to 3. --retry-delay duration Duration of delay between retry attempts in case of failure when per- forming pull of images from registry. Defaults to 2s. --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 --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 direc- tory, buildah copy reads its contents. If both exist, then .container- ignore 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 work- ing container. 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 directory. src Excludes files named src and the directory src as well as any con- tent in it. Lines starting with ! (exclamation mark) can be used to make exceptions to exclusions. The following is an example .containerignore/.dockerig- nore file that uses this mechanism: *.doc !Help.doc Exclude all doc files except Help.doc when copying content into the container. This functionality is compatible with the handling of .containerignore files described here: https://github.com/containers/common/blob/main/docs/containerig- nore.5.md SEE ALSO buildah(1), containerignore(5) buildah April 2021 buildah-copy(1)
