Docker
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.
Copy, paste, and scroll
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + C | Copy the selection |
| Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + V | Paste |
| Mouse wheel | Scroll |
| Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + K | Clear the terminal |
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-256colorbefore you launch them.
