A docker add will nicely extract the supplied compressed file into the directory specified in the zip/tar file
How can I extract it into a different directory?
Eg. if the file extracts to /myfile but I would prefer /otherFile
Don't believe there's any way to do this just using the ADD instruction. ADD supports a target directory obviously, like ADD ["<src>", "<dest>"] however it's still going to extract into the dir you have in the tar within that.
2 options, either rename the dir in the tar or do a RUN mv myfile otherfile after adding.
Is there a specific reason you need it to be named something in particular?
Think about this scenario where you build a tomcat image,
ADD apache-tomcat-8.0.48.tar.gz /opt
This cmd will extract the tar to /opt/apache-tomcat-8.0.48 , if you don't like the long folder name(apache-tomcat-8.0.48) then the requirement happens.

I have an undeterministic script that outputs a json file with a dynamic name in the working directory ie foo.bar.baz.json is there a way to copy/paste this file and give it another name, say output.json?
I tried:
ADD ./*.json output.json
but I can see no additional file is added when I ls after.
Ah! COPY/ADD work on source directory -> image directories. Here I needed to run the copy inside the buid. This did it:
RUN cp /out/*.json /out/output.json
Is it possible to copy multiple files to different locations in a Dockerfile?
I'm looking to go from:
COPY outputs/output/build/.tools /root/.tools
COPY outputs/output/build/configuration /root/configuration
COPY outputs/output/build/database/postgres /root/database/postgres
I have tried the following, but no joy:
COPY ["outputs/output/build/.tools /root/.tools","outputs/output/build/configuration /root/configuration","outputs/output/build/database/postgres /root/database/postgres"]
Not sure if this is even possible.
Create a file .dockerignore in your docker build context directory. Create a soft link (ln) of the root directory you want to copy and exclude the directories you don't want in your .dockerignore.
In your case, you don't need the soft link as the directory is already in the docker build context. Now, add the directories in the .dockerignore file that you don't want eg. if you don't want bin directory you can do that as,
# this is .dockerignore file
outputs/output/build/bin*
Finally in your Dockerfile,
COPY outputs/output/build/ /root/
Details are here.
it looks like you are trying to do bash style [] brace expansion
RUN command uses sh NOT bash
see this SO article discussing it
Bash brace expansion not working on Dockerfile RUN command
or the docker reference

I'm following this tutorial and when I get to the part where I call:
cp /tf_files/stripped_retrained_graph.pb bazel-bin/tensorflow/examples/android/assets/stripped_output_graph.pb
and
cp /tf_files/retrained_labels.txt bin/tensorflow/examples/android/assets/imagenet_comp_graph_label_strings.txt
They both say "No such file or directory".
As you can see in this image I can cd to the tf_files folder and see that the files are there.
I can also cd to /tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/android/assets and call ls which shows there's just a BUILD file there.
In the cp command is there supposed to already be a stripped_output_graph.pb file in the destination which gets replaced? Or is it meant to just be creating a new file there?
Is there some way of doing cp [source] [current directory] rather than specifying the destination as a path?
I've tried removing the file path part in hope that it just uses the source filename but that doesn't work.
Calling
cp /tf_files/stripped_retrained_graph.pb /tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/android/assets/stripped_output_graph.pb
and
cp /tf_files/retrained_labels.txt /tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/android/assets/imagenet_comp_graph_label_strings.txt
finally worked, wasn’t at all obvious that I’d have to change the destination path or what it should be though.
Also I accidentally saved a file as .p rather than .pb but managed to remove it using $ docker exec <container> rm -rf /tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/android/asset
s/stripped_output_graph.p
Now I managed to copy the files in correctly, but then when I installed the app it was still just running the regular demo app.
Not sure why it didn’t work, so frustrating.
When I rebuilt it after copying the files in I got these conflict messages
Are these normal to have?
It looks like maybe a different labels file is taking priority over mine, how can I reach the external/inception5h/imagenet_comp_graph_label_strings.txt file to delete it so my file is used instead?
Does the “external” part mean that I can’t actually access it?
On server A, I created a tar file (backup.tar.gz) of the entire website /www. The tar file includes the top-level directory www
On server B, I want to put those files into /public_html but not include the top level directory www
Of course, tar -xzif backup.tar.gz places everything into /public_html/www
How do I do this?
Thanks!
You can use the --transform option to change the beginning of the archived file names to something else. As an example, in my case I had installed owncloud in directory named sscloud instead of owncloud. This caused problems when upgrading from the *.tar file. So I used the transform option like so:
tar xvf owncloud-10.3.2.tar.bz2 --transform='s/owncloud/sscloud/' --overwrite
The transform option takes sed-like commands. The above will replace the first occurrence of owncloud with sscloud.
Answer is:
tar --strip-components 1 -xvf backup.tar.gz
I kind of found the answer on the stackoverflow but have some confusion. I need some help.
I have a tar file which contains files and folders like this: usr/CCS/HMS*
I would like to extract all files and folders usr/CCS/HMS* but into a different filesystem, the new filesystem is /usr/TRAINP
HMS* should replace TRAINP*. TRAINP has folders like TRAINP/TRAINP.GL, TRAINP.AR, etc
the backup contains folders like usr/CCS/HMS/HMS.GL, usr/CCS/HMS.AR
When I am doing, it is restoring under /usr/TRAINP. I want usr/CCS/HMS* to replace /usr/TRAINP. This is kind of database restore with a different name.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Tar itself does not rename the contents when extracting. The best bet is to extract to some place in the target filesystem and move the results where you want.
For example:
cd /usr/CCS/TRAINP1
tar xf archive.tar usr/CCS/HMS1
mv usr/CCS/HMS1/* .
Or, if the TRAINP directories do not exist:
cd /
tar xf archive.tar usr/CCS
cd usr/CCS
for file in HMS*; do mv "$file" "TRAINP${file#HMS}"; done
Of course there are many variations and alternatives that will yield the same result. Note my example assumes usr/CCS belongs in /usr/CCS.
