apptainer oci attach

that's it. that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, main character energy ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does attach actually do? it will attach console to a running container process running within a container identified by container ID. literally that's the whole thing — you point it at a container by its container ID and it hooks your console up to the process already running inside. obsessed 🫶

💀 quick reminder: this is root-user-only territory, so don't come for me if it doesn't work as your regular little user. that's the manual's rule, not mine 😭
