Logging In to a Container
Scenario
If you encounter unexpected problems when using a container, you can log in to the container to debug it.
Using kubectl
- Use kubectl to access the cluster. For details, see Accessing a Cluster Using kubectl.
- Run the following command to view the created pod:
kubectl get pod
The example output is as follows:NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljr 1/1 Running 0 11m
- Query the container name in the pod.
kubectl get po nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljr -o jsonpath='{range .spec.containers[*]}{.name}{end}{"\n"}'
The example output is as follows:container-1
- Run the following command to log in to the container-1 container in the nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljr pod:
kubectl exec -it nginx-59d89cb66f-mhljr -c container-1 -- /bin/sh
- To exit the container, run the exit command.
