DOCKER-COMPOSE-CP(1)

📦 version 2.26.1, in debian trixie

💖 docker-compose-cp — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, this is the page for docker-compose-cp, from the DOCKER-COMPOSE-CP(1) manual. it's literally all about yeeting files around between your service container and your local filesystem. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

docker-compose-cp — copy files and folders between a service container and the local filesystem, no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

docker compose cp [OPTIONS] SERVICE:SRC_PATH DEST_PATH|-
docker compose cp [OPTIONS] SRC_PATH|- SERVICE:DEST_PATH

so like. two directions. container ➡️ you, or you ➡️ container. the - at the end of the path is doing its own little thing (it's stdin/stdout energy, iykyk). 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

copy files/folders between a service container and the local filesystem. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving cp but the other side is a container. iconic. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -a, --archive[=false] — archive mode, aka copy all the uid/gid information too. the "preserve everything, leave nothing behind" setting. 🔥
  • -L, --follow-link[=false] — always follow the symbol link in SRC_PATH. yes always. it said what it said. 🧚
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for cp. your lil emergency bestie when you forget a flag. 💜
  • --index=0 — index of the container, for when your service has multiple replicas and you gotta pick which one. default is 0. 👑

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

  • --dry-run[=false] — execute the command in dry run mode. nothing actually happens, it just ✨imagines✨ doing it. perfect for a vibe check before you commit. 💀
