Interactive shell using Docker Compose
You need to include the following lines in your docker-compose.yml:
version: "3"services: app: image: app:1.2.3 stdin_open: true # docker run -i tty: true # docker run -tThe first corresponds to -i in docker run and the second to -t.
The canonical way to get an interactive shell with docker-compose is to use:
docker-compose run --rm myappYou can set stdin_open: true, tty: true, however that won't actually give you a proper shell with up, because logs are being streamed from all the containers.
You can also use
docker exec -ti <container name> /bin/bashto get a shell on a running container.
In the official getting started example (https://docs.docker.com/compose/gettingstarted/) with the following docker-compose.yml:
version: '3'services: web: build: . ports: - "5000:5000" redis: image: "redis:alpine"After you start this with docker-compose up, you can easily shell into either your redis container or your web container with:
docker-compose exec redis shdocker-compose exec web sh
