NAME

buildah add - Add the contents of a file, URL, or a directory to a container.

SYNOPSIS

buildah add containerID SRC [[...] DEST]

DESCRIPTION

Adds 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 source file appears to be an archive, its contents are extracted and added instead of the archive file itself. If a local directory is specified as a source, its contents are copied to the destination.

EXAMPLE

buildah add containerID '/myapp/app.conf' '/myapp/app.conf'

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

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

buildah add containerID '/tmp/workingdir' '/tmp/workingdir'

buildah add containerID 'https://github.com/projectatomic/buildah/blob/master/README.md' '/tmp'

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