Can I copy artifacts built with Dagger from a container to a host?

[eager mauve]

Hi.

I am enjoying Dagger with Rust.

As the title says, is it possible to copy artifacts (e.g. binaries) built with Dagger from the container to the host?

I would like to know how to achieve this with Dagger SDK for Rust if possible, but it can be done with other languages as well.

Thank you in advance.

Hey! Yes this is possible. Here is an example on how to do this with a directory in go, but the same idea should apply to a file

https://docs.dagger.io/cookbook#transfer-and-write-to-host-directory-from-container
I have not used the Rusk SDK so I don't have a code snippet handy, but everything should work the same because its using the same GraphQL queries under the hood.

I do see that this is implemented in the SDK https://github.com/dagger/dagger/blob/main/sdk/rust/crates/dagger-sdk/src/gen.rs#L2593

Thanks and sorry for the late response.

I was able to achieve this after referring to the page you provided.
Thank you so much!

I was able to achieve this with the following code, so I am posting a sample here as well.

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = dagger_sdk::connect().await?;

    let contents = client
        .container()
        .from("alpine:latest")
        .with_directory("/host", client.host().directory("/tmp/sandbox"))
        .with_exec(vec!["/bin/sh", "-c", "`echo foo > /host/bar`"])
        .directory("/host")
        .export("/tmp/sandbox")
        .await?;

    Ok(())
