Terminal

Attach an interactive shell to any running container with a built-in xterm.js terminal.

Use this page to open an interactive shell in any running container through xterm.js.

Open a terminal

From the container list, select a container and open Terminal. Dockerman opens a new terminal view with an interactive shell inside the container.

Choose a shell

Dockerman tries bash, then sh, then zsh. Override the shell for a session from the terminal settings control if you want a different command.

Minimal images such as Alpine or distroless may not ship with bash. Dockerman falls back to sh automatically.

Themes and fonts

Choose one of the built-in themes, then customize the font family and size in Terminal settings.

Limitations

  • Stopping the container ends the terminal session.
  • Long idle connections may be dropped by Docker, so reopen the terminal to reconnect.
  • Some TUI apps may need TERM=xterm-256color before you launch them.
