I try to copy the content of a folder (on my server) to my container:

docker cp sonatype-work-backup/* nexus:/sonatype-work/

So I want the content of sonatype-work in my /sonatype-work/ of nexus. But it doesn't work with the * and without the star it's copying the directory sonatype-work-backup inside my sonatype-work directory. I can't perform mv after that.

you could just mount that directory in your container at run 

 docker run -v /sonatype-work-backup:/mnt --name nexus nexus-image

then

docker exec -it nexus bash

and just cp from /mnt to your desired folder
