Moving files in and out of a docker container

Recently i found my old note for moving files in-and-out of a Docker container.

TL;DR

# move file from host to a container
docker cp <file_path_in_host> <container_id_or_name>:<file_path_in_container>

# move file from container to a host
docker cp <container_id_or_name>:<file_path_in_container> <file_path_in_host>
