# exec
|
||||
|
||||
Usage: docker exec [OPTIONS] CONTAINER COMMAND [ARG...]
|
||||
|
||||
Run a command in a running container
|
||||
|
||||
-d, --detach=false Detached mode: run command in the background
|
||||
-i, --interactive=false Keep STDIN open even if not attached
|
||||
-t, --tty=false Allocate a pseudo-TTY
|
||||
-u, --user= Username or UID (format: <name|uid>[:<group|gid>])
|
||||
|
||||
The `docker exec` command runs a new command in a running container.
|
||||
|
||||
The command started using `docker exec` only runs while the container's primary
|
||||
process (`PID 1`) is running, and it is not restarted if the container is
|
||||
restarted.
|
||||
|
||||
If the container is paused, then the `docker exec` command will fail with an error:
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker pause test
|
||||
test
|
||||
$ docker ps
|
||||
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
|
||||
1ae3b36715d2 ubuntu:latest "bash" 17 seconds ago Up 16 seconds (Paused) test
|
||||
$ docker exec test ls
|
||||
FATA[0000] Error response from daemon: Container test is paused, unpause the container before exec
|
||||
$ echo $?

|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker run --name ubuntu_bash --rm -i -t ubuntu bash
|
||||
|
||||
This will create a container named `ubuntu_bash` and start a Bash session.
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker exec -d ubuntu_bash touch /tmp/execWorks
|
||||
|
||||
This will create a new file `/tmp/execWorks` inside the running container
|
||||
`ubuntu_bash`, in the background.
|
||||
|
||||
$ docker exec -it ubuntu_bash bash
|
||||
|
||||
This will create a new Bash session in the container `ubuntu_bash`.
