Built-in Terminal

Open a container shell directly from Dockerman

Overview

Dockerman includes a built-in terminal that opens a shell inside any running container without leaving the app.

Opening a Terminal

  1. Open a running container
  2. Click the Terminal tab or button
  3. A terminal session opens inside the container

Shell Selection

Dockerman tries to detect an available shell:

  • /bin/bash — used by default when available
  • /bin/sh — fallback for minimal containers

You can also specify a custom shell command when opening the terminal.

Terminal Features

  • Full interactive terminal with keyboard input
  • Copy and paste support
  • Scrollback buffer for reviewing earlier output
  • Multiple terminal sessions per container

Closing the Terminal

Close the terminal tab to end the session. The terminal process inside the container is terminated on disconnect.
