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

FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine RUN apk update && apk add wget openssl lsof procps curl RUN apk update RUN mkdir -p /apps/agent RUN mkdir -p /apps/lib ADD ./app/agent /apps/agent ADD ./app/lib /apps/lib ADD ./app/* /apps/app/ RUN ls -lrt /apps/app/ CMD sh /apps/app/launch.sh

by using DockerFile, I'm copying agent and lib directories to /apps/agent,/apps/lib directories and bunch of files to target.
