I'm very new to docker.
Also I'm using Docker for Windows (ie Image and Container are for Windows OS).
I'm trying to get a list of all the folders and subfolders to resolve another issue I'm having. I read several post and blogs and seems like I should be able to run
docker exec -it <container id> dir
To get the info as it is suppose to allow me to run commands against the container.
I even ran
docker exec -it f83eb1533b67 help
which gave me a list of commands (because no one tells what are acceptable 'commands'...) and it is listed. however I get the following message when I run DIR command
PS P:\docker\tmp\SqlServerSetup> `docker exec -it f83eb1533b67 dir`
container f83eb1533b671b4462b8a1562da7343185b2dd27e94ff360e0230969d432ec37 encountered an error during CreateProcess: failure in a Windows system call: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x2)
[Event Detail: Provider: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000] extra info: {"CommandLine":"dir","WorkingDirectory":"C:\\","Environment":{"ACCEPT_EULA":"Y","attach_dbs":"[]","sa_password":"Pass1.4DBAs","sa_password_path":"C:\\ProgramData\\Docker\\secrets\\sa-password"},"EmulateConsole":true,"CreateStdInPipe":true,"CreateStdOutPipe":true,"ConsoleSize":[0,0]}
PS P:\docker\tmp\SqlServerSetup>
Please note: I don't want to persist a volume. Seems like that option is for people that are trying to reuse data.
UPDATE:
This is the statement that i'm using to create the container:
docker run -p 1433:1433 -e sa_password=Pass1.4DBAs -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y -p 11433:1433 --name sqlTraining --cap-add SYS_PTRACE -d microsoft/mssql-server-windows-developer
It works fine. Container is created, but I want to view the filesystem within that container.
For Windows containers, prefix the command with the command shell (cmd) and the /c parameter. For example:
docker exec <container id> cmd /c dir
This will execute the dir command on the specified container and terminate.
Try running:
docker exec -it <container id> sh
to start the interactive shell console. This should help you with debugging.

Running below command to execute my tests on docker container
sudo docker exec -i 6d49272f772c bash -c "mvn clean install test"
Above command running on Jenkins execute bash. But Jenkins console does not show the logs for test execution.
I had a similar problem with docker start (which is similar to docker exec). I used the -i option and it would work fine outside Jenkins, but the console in Jenkins didn't show any output from this command. I replaced -i with -a similar to the following:
sudo docker container create -it --name container-name some-docker-image some-command
sudo docker container start -a container-name
sudo docker container rm -f container-name
The docker exec method doesn't have a -a option so possibly removing the -i option would work too (since you are not interacting with the container in Jenkins), so if that doesn't work than you can convert to the following commands and achieve similar results with standard out being captured.
Input:
- There is Windows machine with Docker Toolbox installed.
- There is a shell script file baz.sh which calls py2dsc-deb.
Problem: py2dsc-deb is not available on Windows.
As I understand correctly, I can pull some Linux distro image from Docker repository, create a container and then execute shell-script file and it will run py2dsc-deb and do its job.
I have pulled:
debian - stretch-slim - 3ad21 - 3 weeks ago - 55.3MB
Now
How do I run my script using debian, something like: docker exec mycontainer /path/to/test.sh?
Running docker --rm debian:stretch-slim does nothing. Doesn't it suppose to run Debian distro at docker-machine ip?
I have tried to keep the container up using docker run -it debian:stretch-slim /bin/bash, then run the script using docker exec 1ef5b ./build.sh, but getting
$ docker exec 745 ./build.sh
rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "exec: \"./build.sh\": stat ./build.sh: no such file or directory"
Does it mean I can't run external script and has to always pass it inside the Docker?
You can execute bash command inside your container by typing
docker exec -ti -u `username` `container_name` bash -c "cd /path/to/ && ./test.sh"
lets say your container name is test_buildbox, you are root and your script stays inside /bin/test.sh You can call this script by typing
docker exec -ti -u root test_buildbox bash -c "cd /bin/ && ./test.sh
Please check if you have correct line endings in your .sh scripts (<LF>) when you built Docker image on Windows.
In my development, I find myself issuing a docker run command followed by a docker exec command on the resulting container ID quite frequently. It's a little annoying to have to copy/paste the container ID between commands, so I was trying to pipe the container ID into my docker exec command.
Here's my example command.
docker run -itd image | xargs -i docker exec -it {} bash
This starts the container, but then I get the following error.
the input device is not a TTY
Does anyone have any idea how to get around this?
Edit: I also forgot to mention I have an ENTRYPOINT defined and cannot override that.
Do this instead:
ID=$(docker run -itd image) && docker exec -it $ID bash
Because xargs executes it arguments without allocating a new tty.
If you just want to "bash"-into the container you do not have to pass the container-id around. You can simply run
docker run -it --rm <image> /bin/bash
For example, if we take the ubuntu base image
docker run -it --rm ubuntu /bin/bash
root#f80f83eec0d4:/#
from the documentation
-t : Allocate a pseudo-tty
-i : Keep STDIN open even if not attached
--rm : Automatically remove the container when it exits
The command /bin/bash overwrites the default command that is specified with the CMD instruction in the Dockerfile.
This question is not duplicated, because I want to obtain an interactive shell without running with -it flags.
I'm moving first steps into Docker to create images only for internal use.
I start from this envirornment_full.df:
FROM ubuntu:16.04
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash"]
I then build
docker rmi environment:full
docker build -t environment:full -f environment.df .
Then run
docker run environment:full
Running docker images -am I see my image
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
environment full aa91bbd39167 4 seconds ago 129 MB
So I run it
docker run environment:full
I see nothing happening ....
$ docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
5847c0a18f30 environment:full "/bin/bash" 21 seconds ago Exited (0) 20 seconds ago admiring_mirzakhani
Also
$ docker run environment:full -ti
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
root#aa768a585f33:/# exit
I'd like to have the ubuntu prompt, like if I was in a SSH connection. And this without user must enter -i or -tty flags.
How can I realize this?
bash won't run at all if stdin is closed. If you don't provide the -i flag, bash will simply exit immediately. So when you...
docker run environment:full
...bash exits immediately, and so your container exits. You would see it if you ran docker ps -a, which shows container that have stopped.
bash won't give you an interactive prompt if it's not attached to a tty. So if you were to run...
coerk run -i environment:full
...you would get a bash shell, but with no prompt, or job control, or other features. You need to provide -t for Docker to allocate a tty device.
You can't get what you want without providing both the -i and -t options on the command line.
An alternative would be to set up an image that runs an ssh daemon, and have people ssh into the container. Instead of behaving "like if I was in a SSH connection", it would actually be an ssh session.
Also, note that this:
docker run environment:full -ti
Is not the same as this:
docker run -it environment:full
The former will run bash -ti inside a container, while the latter passes the -i and -t options to docker run.
I want to ssh or bash into runned docker container. Please, see example:
$ sudo docker run -d webserver
webserver is clean image from ubuntu:14.04
$ sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
665b4a1e17b6 webserver:latest /bin/bash ... ... 22/tcp, 80/tcp loving_heisenberg
now I want to get something like this (go into runned container):
$ sudo docker run -t -i webserver (or maybe 665b4a1e17b6 instead)
$ root#665b4a1e17b6:/#
Previously I used Vagrant so I want to get behavior similar to vagrant ssh. Please, could anyone help me?
After the release of Docker version 1.3, the correct way to get a shell or other process on a running container is using the docker exec command. For example, you would run the following to get a shell on a running container:
docker exec -it myContainer /bin/bash
You can find more information in the documentation.
The answer is docker attach command.
