NAME

docker-attach - Attach to a running container

SYNOPSIS

docker attach [--help] [--no-stdin[=false]] [--sig-proxy[=true]] CONTAINER

DESCRIPTION

The docker attach command allows you to attach to a running container using the container's ID or name, either to view its ongoing output or to control it interactively. You can attach to the same contained process multiple times simultaneously, screen sharing style, or quickly view the progress of your detached process.

You can detach from the container (and leave it running) with CTRL-p CTRL-q (for a quiet exit) or CTRL-c which will send a SIGKILL to the container. When you are attached to a container, and exit its main process, the process's exit code will be returned to the client.

It is forbidden to redirect the standard input of a docker attach command while attaching to a tty-enabled container (i.e.: launched with -t).

OPTIONS

--help Print usage statement

--no-stdin=true|false Do not attach STDIN. The default is false.

--sig-proxy=true|false Proxy all received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGKILL, and SIGSTOP are not proxied. The default is true.

EXAMPLES

Attaching to a container

In this example the top command is run inside a container, from an image called fedora, in detached mode. The ID from the container is passed into the docker attach command:

# ID=$(sudo docker run -d fedora /usr/bin/top -b)
# sudo docker attach $ID
