Docker Inject

Copy files/directories from hosts to running Docker containers.

Description

Surely you sometimes desire to copy files from your host machine to running Docker containers. Indeed docker cp provide the way to copy files from containers to hosts, but we have no command for the retrorse copying.

One of the ways to transport objects is to mount a directory by the -v option of docker run and use the directory as a portal. Meanwhile this method is, as you might notice, completely helpless for running containers.

Docker Inject provide the way to copy objects from hosts to running containers. With the command, you are able to inject not only a single file but also directories recursively.
