Description
Description
I would like to be able to use bash process substitution with docker cp :
docker cp <(echo "hello world") nginx:/hello
docker exec -ti nginx cat /hello
And see "hello world"
Describe the results you received:
cat: /hello: No such file or directory
Describe the results you expected:
See "hello world"
Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
Most commands support process substitution like this, for example :
cp <(echo "hello") hello
cat <(echo hello)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the documented docker cp <(echo "hello world") nginx:/hello command and inspect the docker cp CLI path handling process-substitution input. Done means the command copies the generated content into the container so that docker exec -ti nginx cat /hello prints "hello world".
