Interactive session in a Docker container

Published on November 22, 2022

Opening a bash session in a given container:

docker exec -it <container-name> /bin/bash

In case the image is more bare bones you can still open a shell session:

docker exec -it <container-name> /bin/sh

If you are not sure about the container names you can list them with:

docker ps --format "{{.Names}}"
