docker-container-export - Export a container's filesystem as a tar archive
docker container export [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
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.
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
docker-import(1) to create an empty filesystem image and import the contents of the tarball into it, then optionally tag it.
-h, --help[=false] help for export
-o, --output="" Write to a file, instead of STDOUT
