NAME

kpod-attach - Attach to a running container

Description

We chose not to implement the attach feature in kpod even though the upstream Docker project has it. The upstream project has had lots of issues with attaching to running processes that we did not want to replicate. The kpod exec and kpod log commands offer you the same functionality far more dependably.

Reasons to attach to the primary PID of a container:

1. Executing commands inside of the container

We recommend that you use kpod exec to execute a command within a container

kpod exec CONTAINERID /bin/sh

2. Viewing the output stream of the primary process in the container

We recommend that you use kpod logs to see the output from the container

kpod logs CONTAINERID
