I m trying to write a shell script that builds/runs containers and then copies files from docker container to host.

docker build . -t container:latest
docker run -t -d container /bin/bash
docker cp container_id:/xyz/xyz.txt /tmp

How can I capture the container id from the build and then use it within the shell script? Thanks for your help.

The first option would be to simply store the container ID in a variable.

docker build . -t container:latest
container_id="$(docker run -t -d container /bin/bash)"
docker cp "$container_id":/xyz/xyz.txt /tmp

Docker also allows you to specify a container name.

docker build . -t container:latest
docker run -t --name NAME -d container /bin/bash
docker cp NAME:/xyz/xyz.txt /tmp
