# attach
|
|
|
|
Usage: docker attach [OPTIONS] CONTAINER
|
|
|
|
Attach to a running container
|
|
|
|
--detach-keys="<sequence>" Set up escape key sequence
|
|
--help Print usage
|
|
--no-stdin Do not attach STDIN
|
|
--sig-proxy=true Proxy all received signals to the process
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
To stop a container, use `CTRL-c`. This key sequence sends `SIGKILL` to the
|
|
container. If `--sig-proxy` is true (the default),`CTRL-c` sends a `SIGINT` to
|
|
the container. You can detach from a container and leave it running using the
|
|
`CTRL-p CTRL-q` key sequence.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
> A process running as PID 1 inside a container is treated specially by
|
|
> Linux: it ignores any signal with the default action. So, the process
|
|
> will not terminate on `SIGINT` or `SIGTERM` unless it is coded to do
|
|
> so.
|
|
|
|
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`).
|
|
|
|
While a client is connected to container's stdio using `docker attach`, Docker
|
|
uses a ~1MB memory buffer to maximize the throughput of the application. If
|
|
this buffer is filled, the speed of the API connection will start to have an
|
|
effect on the process output writing speed. This is similar to other
|
|
applications like SSH. Because of this, it is not recommended to run
|
|
performance critical applications that generate a lot of output in the
|
|
foreground over a slow client connection. Instead, users should use the
|
|
`docker logs` command to get access to the logs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Override the detach sequence
|
|
|
|
If you want, you can configure a override the Docker key sequence for detach.
|
|
This is is useful if the Docker default sequence conflicts with key squence you
|
|
use for other applications. There are two ways to defines a your own detach key
|
|
sequence, as a per-container override or as a configuration property on your
|
|
entire configuration.
|
|
|
|
To override the sequence for an individual container, use the
|
|
`--detach-keys="<sequence>"` flag with the `docker attach` command. The format of
|
|
the `<sequence>` is either a letter [a-Z], or the `ctrl-` combined with any of
|
|
the following:
|
|
|
|
* `a-z` (a single lowercase alpha character )
|
|
* `@` (at sign)
|
|
* `[` (left bracket)
|
|
* `\\` (two backward slashes)
|
|
* `_` (underscore)
|
|
* `^` (caret)
|
|
|
|
These `a`, `ctrl-a`, `X`, or `ctrl-\\` values are all examples of valid key
|
|
sequences. To configure a different configuration default key sequence for all
|
|
containers, see [**Configuration file** section](cli.md#configuration-files).

And in this second example, you can see the exit code returned by the `bash`
|
|
process is returned by the `docker attach` command to its caller too:
|
|
|
|
$ docker run --name test -d -it debian

|
|
$ docker attach test
|
|
$$ exit 13
|
|
exit
|
|
$ echo $?
|
|
13
|
|
$ docker ps -a | grep test
