Using

docker cp <containerId>:/file/path/within/container /host/path/target

you could copy some data from the container. If the data in the container and on your machine need to be in sync constantly I suggest you use a data volume to share a directory from your server with the container. This directory can then be shared from the server to your local machine with any method (e.g. sshfs)

The docker documentation about Manage data in containers shows how to add a volume:

$ docker run -d -P --name web -v /webapp training/webapp python app.py

The data from you severs training/webapp location will then be available in the docker container at /webapp.

but folder /webapp will be on the server hdd, not in my pc hdd
@edenisn yes. That's where you would for example use sshfs to mount the servers directory to your local pc. I recommend this way because then your local computer only needs to connect to the server. Connecting into the docker container would be more involved.
