Docker data container and how to move data from the host into the running container.

README.txt

To copy files from host into the container's data directory (depending on your environment you may need to prefix with sudo):

cp tnc_file.txt /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/$(docker inspect -f '{{.Id}}' tnc_data_container)/data
