docker:container:ssh
Starting a shell/bash inside a docker container (login).
$ docker exec -it ${docker_name} ${bin}
try on your machine
The command "docker exec -it ${docker_name} ${bin}" is used to execute a command inside a running Docker container.
Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
- "docker exec": This is the Docker command used to execute a command inside a container.
- "-it": These are options provided to the "docker exec" command. "-it" is short for "--interactive" and "--tty". It ensures that the command is executed interactively in the container, and allows for input and output through the terminal.
- "${docker_name}": This is a placeholder for the name or ID of the Docker container where the command will be executed. You need to replace "${docker_name}" with the actual name or ID of the container.
- "${bin}": This is a placeholder for the command that you want to execute inside the container. You need to replace "${bin}" with the actual command that you want to run.
For example, if you have a Docker container named "my_container" and you want to execute the "ls" command inside it, the command would be: docker exec -it my_container ls
