Ansible docker module missing CP command?

You can also use the synchronize command ~ examples provided in this link:

You didn't. Ansible's docker module does not support copying files or folders from a container.
There is no simple way to do so. I mean you need a hack. Off the top of my head you can play with '-' argument for docker cp option.

However from my point of view if you wish to copy something into a container you're probably doing something wrong. Containers should be ephemeral.

docker ansible cp docker-cp

Using ansible shell module helped:

  - name: copy db dump to localhost    ansible.builtin.shell: docker cp container:/tmp/dump.sql /tmp/dump.sql
