SYNOPSIS

11       buildah add [options] container src [[src ...] dest]
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Adds the contents of a file, URL, or a directory to a container's work‐
16       ing  directory  or  a  specified location in the container.  If a local
17       source file appears to be an archive, its contents  are  extracted  and
18       added  instead  of  the  archive  file itself.  If a local directory is
19       specified as a source, its contents are copied to the destination.

OPTIONS

23       --add-history
24
25
26       Add an entry to the history which will note the  digest  of  the  added
27       content.  Defaults to false.
28
29
30       Note:  You can also override the default value of --add-history by set‐
31       ting the  BUILDAH_HISTORY  environment  variable.  export  BUILDAH_HIS‐
32       TORY=true
33
34
35       --chown owner:group
36
37
38       Sets the user and group ownership of the destination content.
39
40
41       --contextdir
42
43
44       Build  context directory. Specifying a context directory causes Buildah
45       to chroot into that context directory. This means copying files pointed
46       at by symbolic links outside of the chroot will fail.
47
48
49       --ignorefile
50
51
52       Path  to  an  alternative  .dockerignore file. Requires --contextdir be
53       specified.
54
55
56       --quiet, -q
57
58
59       Refrain from printing a digest of the added content.

63       buildah add containerID '/myapp/app.conf' '/myapp/app.conf'
64
65
66       buildah  add  --chown  myuser:mygroup   containerID   '/myapp/app.conf'
67       '/myapp/app.conf'
68
69
70       buildah add containerID '/home/myuser/myproject.go'
71
72
73       buildah add containerID '/home/myuser/myfiles.tar' '/tmp'
74
75
76       buildah add containerID '/tmp/workingdir' '/tmp/workingdir'
77
78
79       buildah     add     containerID    'https://github.com/containers/buil‐
80       dah/blob/master/README.md' '/tmp'

FILES

87   .dockerignore
88       When the \fB\fC--ignorefile\fR option is specified  Buildah  reads  the
89       content  to  exclude  files  and directories from the source directory,
90       when copying content into the image.
91
92
93       Users can specify a series of Unix shell globals in a  ignore  file  to
94       identify files/directories to exclude.
95
96
97       Buildah  supports a special wildcard string ** which matches any number
98       of directories (including zero). For example, */.go  will  exclude  all
99       files that end with .go that are found in all directories.
100
101
102       Example .dockerignore file:
103
104
105              # here are files we want to exclude
106              */*.c
107              **/output*
108              src
109
110
111
112       */*.c  Excludes  files  and directories whose names ends with .c in any
113       top level subdirectory. For  example,  the  source  file  include/root‐
114       less.c.
115
116
117       **/output* Excludes files and directories starting with output from any
118       directory.
119
120
121       src Excludes files named src and the directory src as well as any  con‐
122       tent in it.
123
124
125       Lines starting with ! (exclamation mark) can be used to make exceptions
126       to exclusions. The following is an example .dockerignore file that uses
127       this mechanism:
128
129
130              *.doc
131              !Help.doc
132
133
134
135       Exclude all doc files except Help.doc from the image.
136
137
138       This  functionality  is  compatible  with the handling of .dockerignore
139       files described here:
