How do I start a shell session in a running container without using ssh

Question

I am trying to run the below command to run a bash shell within a running container :

docker run "container_id" /bin/bash

 I am getting this error :

2013/07/27 20:00:24 Internal server error: 404 trying to fetch remote history for 27d757283842

I want to run bash shell in a running container so do I have to run an SSH server in it and logging via ssh ?

Can anyone help me with this query?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is what you can try.

you should use docker exec -it "containerid" bash

The answer to this question was:

If you really must and you are in a debug environment, you can do this: sudo lxc-attach -n <ID>Note that the id needs to be the full one

docker ps -notrunc

However, I strongly recommend against this.

also notrunc is deprecated, it's possible that it will get replaced by --no-trunc soon.

I hope the above explanation will help you resolve your query.

Thanks.
