2.36. Docker exec command

2.36.1. Grammar ¶

docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...] 

OPTIONS description:

• -d : Split mode: running in the background

• -i : Keep STDIN open even if there is no attachment

• -t : Assign a pseudo terminal

2.36.2. Example ¶

Execute the in-container / root/runoob.sh script in interactive mode in the container mynginx:

runoob@runoob:~$ docker exec -it mynginx /bin/sh /root/runoob.sh http://www.runoob.com/ 

Open an interactive mode terminal in the container mynginx:

runoob@runoob:~$ docker exec -i -t mynginx /bin/bash root@b1a0703e41e7:/# 

You can also use the docker ps-a command to see which containers are already running, and then use the container ID to enter the container.

Check the container ID that is already running:

# docker ps -a ... 9df70f9a0714 openjdk "/usercode/script.sh…" ... 

The 9df70f9a0714 in the first column is the container ID.

Bash the specified container through the exec command:

# docker exec -it 9df70f9a0714 /bin/bash
