archive2volume

Introduction

The easy way for migrating from archive file (*.tar.gz or *.tgz) to Docker volume

How to use

1. First pull the Docker image

$ docker pull busthehero/archive2volume

2. Run the image against volume you want archive file to be extracted upon

$ docker run --rm \
    -v *archive file*:/tarfile/file.tgz \
    -v *volume name*:/volume \
    busthehero/archive2volume

Environment Variables

• If you don't want Verbosity of container (originally generated from internal tar -v), you can use TAR_VERBOSE_FLAG to disable it, by defining it to any value that is not literally "true" (default is true)

$ docker run \
    ... \
    -e TAR_VERBOSE="" \
    ... \
    busthehero/archive2volume

• You can use TAR_EXTRA_ARGUMENT to define additional arguments to internal tar (default is --overwrite)

$ docker run \
    ... \
    -e TAR_EXTRA_ARGUMENT="--skip-old-files" \
    ... \
    busthehero/archive2volume
