How to copy folders to docker image from Dockerfile?

Question

I tried the following command in my Dockerfile: COPY * / and got mighty surprised at the result. Seems the naive docker code traverses the directories from the glob

Answer 1

Like @Vonc said, there is no possibility to add a command like as of now. The only workaround is to mention the folder, to create it and add contents to it.

# add contents to folder
ADD src $HOME/src

Would create a folder called src in your directory and add contents of your folder src into this.
