Dockerfile copy keep subdirectory structure

问题:

I'm trying to copy a number of files and folders to a docker image build from my localhost.

The files are like this:

folder1
    file1
    file2
folder2
    file1
    file2

I'm trying to make the copy like this:

COPY files/* /files/

However, all files are placed in /files/ is there a way in Docker to keep the subdirectory structure as well as copying the files into their directories?

回答1:

Remove star from COPY, with this Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu
COPY files/ /files/
RUN ls -la /files/*

Structure is there:

Alternatively you can use a "." instead of *, as this will take all the files in the working directory, include the folders and subfolders:

FROM ubuntu
COPY . /
RUN ls -la /
