Tips & tricks: dockerfile – copying the entire folder recursively

Damian MarciniakTips & tricks,

Command to copying the entire folder recursively is:

COPY folder-to-copy/ /target/path/in/docker/image/

Above command will copy recursively all directories and files from given directory (folder-to-copy) to given path (/target/path/in/docker/image).

It’s little tricky because command:

COPY folder-to-copy/* /target/path/in/docker/image/

working not recursively.
