Docker cp file from local file system: Good help from Copilot
-
Here's the question I needed answered (and couldn't seem to find a good answer on StackOverflow):
I asked Copilot
Can you show me how to copy a file from my local file system into the docker container using bash?
Copilot said
Sure! You can use the docker cp command to copy a file from your local file system into a Docker container. Here’s how you can do it: Basic Syntax:
docker cp :Example: Let’s say you have a file named example.txt in your current directory that you want to copy to the /app directory inside a container named my_container:docker cp example.txt my_container:/app/example.txtVerify the File: You can then verify that the file has been copied by listing the files in the destination directory inside the container:docker exec my_container ls /appThat's a good one! Now I know how to interact with files _inside_ my Docker container from _outside_ (from local file system) my docker container. Copilot is my friend. I've never been able to say that of anyone on SO. Only, sometimes, could I say "well they didn't entirely abuse me." :laugh:

You obviously weren't trying hard enough! :laugh:
