I have created a docker volume "hello" and it contains some data .
How can I copy the data to host ?
First :
kerydeMacBook-Pro:~ hu$ docker volume create --name hello
hello
checking :
kerydeMacBook-Pro:~ hu$ docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local hello
volume "hello" inspect
kerydeMacBook-Pro:~ hu$ docker volume inspect hello
[
{
"Name": "hello",
"Driver": "local",
"Mountpoint": "/mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/volumes/hello/_data"
}
]
How can i copy the data on the volume "hello" to host?
I tried :
kerydeMacBook-Pro:~ hu$ docker cp hello:/mnt/sda1/var/lib/docker/volumes/hello/_data /Users/hu/Desktop/12
Error response from daemon: no such id: hello
It does not work as expected!
Who can help me ?
Docker does not provide an interface to access volumes directly but you can use a container that has the volume mounted. This may need a temporary container to be created:
CID=$(docker run -d -v hello:/hello busybox true)
Copy a directory from volume to host
docker cp $CID:/hello ./
To copy a directory from the host to volume
cd local_dir
docker cp . $CID:/hello/
Then clean up (if using a temporary container).
docker rm $CID
