% podman(1) podman-cp - Copy content between container's file system and the host

# podman-cp "1" "August 2017" "podman"
|
||||
|
||||
## NAME
|
||||
podman-cp - Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
We chose not to implement the `cp` feature in `podman` even though the upstream Docker
|
||||
project has it. We have a much stronger capability. Using standard podman-mount
|
||||
and podman-umount, we can take advantage of the entire linux tool chain, rather
|
||||
then just cp.
|
||||
|
||||
If a user wants to copy contents out of a container or into a container, they
|
||||
can execute a few simple commands.
|
||||
|
||||
You can copy from the container's file system to the local machine or the
|
||||
reverse, from the local filesystem to the container.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to copy the /etc/foobar directory out of a container and onto /tmp
|
||||
on the host, you could execute the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
mnt=$(podman mount CONTAINERID)
|
||||
cp -R ${mnt}/etc/foobar /tmp
|
||||
podman umount CONTAINERID
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to untar a tar ball into a container, you can execute these commands:
|
||||
|
||||
mnt=$(podman mount CONTAINERID)
|
||||
tar xf content.tgz -C ${mnt}
|
||||
podman umount CONTAINERID
|
||||
|
||||
One last example, if you want to install a package into a container that
|
||||
does not have dnf installed, you could execute something like:
|
||||
|
||||
mnt=$(podman mount CONTAINERID)
|
||||
dnf install --installroot=${mnt} httpd
|
||||
chroot ${mnt} rm -rf /var/log/dnf /var/cache/dnf
|
||||
podman umount CONTAINERID
|
||||
|
||||
This shows that using `podman mount` and `podman umount` you can use all of the
|
||||
standard linux tools for moving files into and out of containers, not just
|
||||
the cp command.
