lxdock shell

Command: lxdock shell [arguments] [name]

This command can be used to open an interactive shell inside one of your containers.

By default, that shell logins as root unless your LXDock config specifies another user in its shell: option. In all cases, the --user command line overrides everything.

Options

  • [name] - a container name
  • -u, --user <username> - user to login as

Examples

$ lxdock shell mycontainer       # opens a shell into the "mycontainer" container
$ lxdock shell -u root           # opens a shell as root, regardless of our config
