Is there a way to copy files/directories into a container?

Hi,

I read your the documentation about docker-py but it seems that there is no way to copy something into a container, right? That’s a feature what I’d really like and need.

If there is a different way to do so, please tell me. Temporarily, I stick with a simple shell command execution.

PS: If this is the wrong place to ask for something, please tell me where I can ask questions since I tried to join your channels on freenode, but it seems I must get the Developer-Status to join.

Here is a gist of what I do to put a password file into a container:

Hope it helps!

OK, I found put_archive as an option, but I don’t understand why it’s better to specify a TAR archive? Don’t want to pack a 429 Bytes file into an archive.
