✨ container-run(1) — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the CONTAINER-RUN(1) page from the General Commands Manual — yes that's the manual name, no I will not be normal about it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

container-run — execute commands in a container namespace 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

container run ['OPTIONS'] -- 'COMMAND'|"COMMANDS"
cnt r ['OPTIONS'] -- 'COMMAND'|"COMMANDS"

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: the container run command executes arbitrary commands as root inside a container namespace. yeah. root. inside the namespace. main character energy fr fr 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the full lineup of container run options, and yes there is literally just one, she's an icon, she's everything:

  • -n, --name='NAME' — specify the container name. and listen, if you pass 'ALL', it will start all stopped container. (their grammar, not mine, but the facts are the facts 🍓)

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

run hostname in the example.net container:

sudo container run -n example.net -- hostname

create and delete a file in the example.net container:

sudo container run -n example.net -- 'touch /tmp/foo && rm -f /tmp/foo'

no cap, that second one is a whole little two-for-one in a single string. obsessed 😭
