Export the contents of a container's filesystem using the full or shortened container ID or container name. The output is exported to STDOUT and can be redirected to a tar file.

Stream to a file instead of STDOUT by using -o.

EXAMPLES

Export the contents of the container called angry_bell to a tar file called angry_bell.tar:

# docker export angry_bell > angry_bell.tar
# docker export --output=angry_bell-latest.tar angry_bell
# ls -sh angry_bell.tar
321M angry_bell.tar
# ls -sh angry_bell-latest.tar
321M angry_bell-latest.tar
