如果您使用podman/buildah1，它为将文件从容器复制到主机提供了更大的灵活性，因为它允许您装载容器。

创建容器后，如以下回答所示

podman create --name dummy IMAGE_NAME

现在，我们可以装载整个容器，然后使用几乎每个linux盒子中的cp实用程序将/etc/foobar的内容从容器（虚拟）复制到主机上的/tmp中。所有这些都可以无根地完成。观察：

$ podman unshare -- bash -c '
  mnt=$(podman mount dummy)
  cp -R ${mnt}/etc/foobar /tmp
  podman umount dummy
'

1.podman在内部使用buildah，它们也共享几乎相同的api

您不需要使用docker run。

你可以用docker create来完成。

从文档中：

docker create命令在指定的映像上创建一个可写容器层，并为运行指定的命令做好准备。然后将容器ID打印到STDOUT。这与docker run-d类似，只是容器从未启动。

因此，您可以做到：

docker create --name dummy IMAGE_NAME
docker cp dummy:/path/to/file /dest/to/file
docker rm -f dummy

在这里，您永远不会启动容器。这看起来对我有利。

随着Docker 19.03的发布，您可以跳过创建容器甚至构建映像。基于BuildKit的构建有一个选项可以更改输出目标。您可以使用它将构建结果写入本地目录，而不是写入映像。例如，这里是go二进制文件的构建：

$ ls
Dockerfile  go.mod  main.go

$ cat Dockerfile
FROM golang:1.12-alpine as dev
RUN apk add --no-cache git ca-certificates
RUN adduser -D appuser
WORKDIR /src
COPY . /src/
CMD CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o app . && ./app

FROM dev as build
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -o app .
USER appuser
CMD [ "./app" ]

FROM scratch as release
COPY --from=build /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/
COPY --from=build /src/app /app
USER appuser
CMD [ "/app" ]

FROM scratch as artifact
COPY --from=build /src/app /app

FROM release

从上面的Dockerfile中，我构建的工件阶段只包含我想要导出的文件。新引入的--output标志允许我将它们写入本地目录，而不是图像。这需要使用19.03附带的BuildKit引擎执行：

$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --target artifact --output type=local,dest=. .

构建完成后，将导出应用程序二进制文件：

$ ls
Dockerfile  app  go.mod  main.go

$ ./app
Ready to receive requests on port 8080

Docker对上游BuildKit repo中记录的--output标志有其他选项：https://github.com/moby/buildkit#output

装载一个“卷”并将工件复制到其中：

mkdir artifacts
docker run -i -v ${PWD}/artifacts:/artifacts ubuntu:14.04 sh << COMMANDS
# ... build software here ...
cp <artifact> /artifacts
# ... copy more artifacts into `/artifacts` ...
COMMANDS

然后，当构建完成并且容器不再运行时，它已经将构建中的工件复制到主机上的工件目录中。

Edit

注意：当您这样做时，可能会遇到docker用户的用户id与当前运行用户的用户id匹配的问题。也就是说，/fartifacts中的文件将显示为用户所有，用户的UID在docker容器中使用。解决此问题的一种方法可能是使用主叫用户的UID：

docker run -i -v ${PWD}:/working_dir -w /working_dir -u $(id -u) \
    ubuntu:14.04 sh << COMMANDS
# Since $(id -u) owns /working_dir, you should be okay running commands here
# and having them work. Then copy stuff into /working_dir/artifacts .
COMMANDS

这也可以在SDK中完成，例如python。如果你已经构建了一个容器，你可以通过控制台（docker ps-a）查找这个名称，这个名称似乎是科学家和形容词（即“relaxed_pasteur”）的连接。

查看帮助（container.get_archive）：

Help on method get_archive in module docker.models.containers:

get_archive(path, chunk_size=2097152) method of docker.models.containers.Container instance
    Retrieve a file or folder from the container in the form of a tar
    archive.

    Args:
        path (str): Path to the file or folder to retrieve
        chunk_size (int): The number of bytes returned by each iteration
            of the generator. If ``None``, data will be streamed as it is
            received. Default: 2 MB

    Returns:
        (tuple): First element is a raw tar data stream. Second element is
        a dict containing ``stat`` information on the specified ``path``.

    Raises:
        :py:class:`docker.errors.APIError`
            If the server returns an error.

    Example:

        >>> f = open('./sh_bin.tar', 'wb')
        >>> bits, stat = container.get_archive('/bin/sh')
        >>> print(stat)
        {'name': 'sh', 'size': 1075464, 'mode': 493,
         'mtime': '2018-10-01T15:37:48-07:00', 'linkTarget': ''}
        >>> for chunk in bits:
        ...    f.write(chunk)
        >>> f.close()

因此，类似这样的东西将从容器中的指定路径（/output）拉出到主机并解压缩tar。

import docker
import os
import tarfile

# Docker client
client = docker.from_env()
#container object
container = client.containers.get("relaxed_pasteur")
#setup tar to write bits to
f = open(os.path.join(os.getcwd(),"output.tar"),"wb")
#get the bits
bits, stat = container.get_archive('/output')
#write the bits
for chunk in bits:
    f.write(chunk)
f.close()
#unpack
tar = tarfile.open("output.tar")
tar.extractall()
tar.close()

docker run -dit --rm IMAGE
docker cp CONTAINER:SRC_PATH DEST_PATH
