Looking for the correct syntax
rsync -avz <host-dir> | docker exec rsync --server --daemon <inside-container-dir>

Correct syntax is:

rsync -avz -e 'docker exec -i' <host-dir>  <container-name>:<inside-container-dir>

But, docker CLI has some issue blocking this syntax to work.

Peter's syntax works under Docker 1.8.1. Thanks!
