Copy . . in dockerfile - docker

I understand that COPY can copy files from source folder to destination, but what is purpose of COPY . .?
For example:
FROM ruby:2.5.1
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY Gemfile Gemfile.lock ./
RUN bundle install
COPY . .
CMD ["./your-daemon-or-script.rb"]

That will copy the current working directory of your local machine into the current working directory of the container.

See the WORKDIR
This command will copy all the content of the parent directory in which your dockerfile resides(contents of your machine) to the location of the WORKDIR in your container.

Docker multi-stage build : can't copy using extension from previous stage

I am dockerizing a maven app
My dockerfile looks like ..
FROM maven:3.8-openjdk-11 AS maven_builder
ENV APP_HOME /app
RUN mkdir -pv $APP_HOME
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
ADD . $APP_HOME
RUN mvn clean install
FROM tomcat:8.5.43-jdk8
COPY --from=maven_builder /app/target/test.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps
This one works fine !
But, I want to modify the last COPY command in such a way, so that I can copy all the .war & .jar files at location /app/target
I tried something like ...
COPY --from=maven_builder /app/target/*.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps
COPY --from=maven_builder /app/target/*.jar /usr/local/tomcat/webapps
And
COPY --from=maven_builder /app/target/*.{war,jar} /usr/local/tomcat/webapps
But, then build logs say : "message":"COPY failed: no source files were specified"
Is this possible , if yes, then how ?
Thanks in advance !

Dockerizing python project Dockerfile creation

This question is asked before yet After reviewing the answers I am still not able to copy the solution.
I am still new to docker and after watching tutorials and following articles I was able to create a Dockerfile for an existing GitHub repository.
I started by using the nearest available image as a base then adding what I need.
from what I read the problem is in WORKDIR and CMD commands
This is error message:
python: can't open file 'save_model.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory*
This is my Dockerfile:
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM tensorflow/serving:2.3.0-rc0-devel-gpu
WORKDIR app
COPY requirements-gpu.txt .
# install dependencies
RUN pip install -r requirements-gpu.txt
# copy the content of the local src directory to the working directory
COPY /home/pc/Desktop/yolo4_deep .
# command to run on container start
CMD ["python","./app/save_model.py","./app/object_tracker.py" ]
src
save_model.py
object_tracker.py
...
requirements.txt
Dockerfile
I tried WORKDIR command to set the absolute path: WORKDIR /home/pc/Desktop/yolo4_Deep_sort_nojupitor the result was Same Error.
I see multiple issues in your Dockerfile.
COPY /home/pc/Desktop/yolo4_deep .
The COPY command copies files from your local machine to the container. The path on your local machine must be path relative to your build context. The build context is the path you pass in when you run docker build . — in this case the . (the current directory) is the build context. Also the local machine path can only reference files located under the build context — i.e. paths containing .. (parent directory) or / (root directory) are not allowed.
WORKDIR app
WORKDIR sets the path inside the container not on your local machine. So WORKDIR /app means that all commands — RUN, CMD, ENTRYPOINT — will be executed from the /app directory.
CMD ["python","./app/save_model.py","./app/object_tracker.py" ]
As mentioned above WORKDIR /app causes all operations to be executed from the /app directory. So ./app/save_model.py is actually translated as /app/app/save_model.py.
Thanks for help Everyone.
As I mentioned earlier I'm beginner in the docker world. I solved the issue by editing the copy command.
# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
FROM tensorflow/serving:2.3.0-rc0-devel-gpu
WORKDIR /home/pc/Desktop/yolo4_deep
COPY requirements-gpu.txt .
# install dependencies
RUN pip install -r requirements-gpu.txt
# copy the content of the local src directory to the working directory
COPY src/ .
# command to run on container start
ENTRYPOINT ["./start.sh"]

Docker folder gets duplicated in container

Have this Dockerfile
Dockerfile
FROM python:3.8
ADD Pipfile.lock /app/Pipfile.lock
ADD Pipfile /app/Pipfile
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
RUN pip install pipenv
RUN pipenv install --system --deploy --ignore-pipfile
ENV FLASK_APP=app/http/api/endpoints.py
ENV FLASK_RUN_PORT=4433
ENV FLASK_ENV=development
ENTRYPOINT ["python"]
CMD ["-m", "flask", "run"]
Why in the Docker container my app lands in
/app/app/http/api
App gets duplicated
How to copy it to:
/app/http/api
How can I fix it?
Update 1:
My docker-compose and Dockerfile and ls output.

You got two problems here
copy . /app copies the whole working directory from the host machine into the /app directory in the image. If you just want the ./app subdirectory change that to copy ./app /app
Your docker-compose mounts the current working directory of the host machine into the container under the mount point /app . This hides the existing directory /app of the image. So you will either need to copy your app to a different directory or use a different mount point for your volume

How to point correct path in the Dockerfile

I have .sln file and Dockerfile at a different location on my local hard drive.
Till now I work on a source code where .sln file and Dockerfile are present at the same location.
I am facing difficulty to configure it correctly.
I have .sln file at the location CompanyCarsDocker\CompanyCarsDocker\CompanyCarsDocker.sln
And My Dockerfile is present inside CompanyCarsDocker\CompanyCarsDocker\CarApi\Dockerfile
-
Below is my Dockerfile
FROM microsoft/aspnetcore:2.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 54411
FROM microsoft/aspnetcore-build:2.0 AS builder
WORKDIR /src
COPY . ./*.sln ./
ADD ./site /inetpub/wwwroot
COPY ./CarApi.csproj CarApi/
RUN dotnet restore
COPY . .
WORKDIR /src/CarApi
RUN dotnet build -c Release -o /app
FROM builder AS publish
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o /app
FROM base AS production
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "CarApi.dll"]
I have added ADD ./site /inetpub/wwwroot for testing purpose. I am getting
ADD failed: CreateFile \\?\C:\ProgramData\Docker\tmp\docker-builder782713904\site: The system cannot find the file specified.
Same error I am also Getting at COPY ./CarApi.csproj CarApi/
Please let me know if I configured something wrong in the Dockerfile.
You can use the -f flag of docker build to specify the path to the Dockerfile
Make sure you’re current working directory is the one which has the sln file and rest of the project. Run the command docker build -f <path to Dockerfile> .
your .sln file is two directories up so you should use
COPY ../../*.sln ./
instead of
COPY . ./*.sln ./

Multi-stage build cannot copy from previous stage - File not found

I have the docker file as follows:
FROM node:8 as builder
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY ./src/register_form/package*.json .
RUN npm install
COPY ./src/register_form .
RUN yarn build
FROM tensorflow/tensorflow:1.10.0-gpu-py3
COPY --from=builder /usr/src/app/register_form/build/index.html /app/src/
WORKDIR /app
ENTRYPOINT ["python3"]
CMD ["/app/src/main.pyc"]
However, it cannot copy the index.html from the builder stage. Although when I list the folder in the first stage, the files are there.
The error is:
Step 8/22 : COPY --from=builder ./register_form/build/ /app/src/
COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/overlay2/5470e05501898502b3aa437639f975ca3e4bfb5a1e897281e62e07ab89866304/merged/register_form/build: no such file or directory
How can I fix this problem - the COPY --from=builder docker command?
I think you are misusing COPY command. As it is told in docs:
If src is a directory, the entire contents of the directory are
copied, including filesystem metadata.
Note: The directory itself is not copied, just its contents.
So your command COPY ./src/register_form . does NOT create register_form folder in container, but instead copies all contents. You can try adding:
RUN ls .
to your Dockerfile to make sure.
As noticed by #BMitch in comments, you can explicitly set destination folder name to achieve expected results:
COPY ./src/register_form/ register_form/
