buildah-copy - Man Page

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

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.

--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 setting the BUILDAH_HISTORY environment variable. export BUILDAH_HISTORY=true

--cert-dir path

Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) when connecting to registries 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 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.

--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.

--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.
