Getting a command prompt on a container

On Linux, if you need a command prompt for a running container, such as a Pentaho Server or Carte container, you can use the docker exec command with the containerID listed via the docker container ls command, as shown in the following example:

docker exec -it *containerId* bash

To get into a stopped PDI container after a command has been executed, use the docker compose command with the bash argument, as shown in the following example:

docker compose run pdi bash

The pdi reference already is defined in your docker-compose.yaml file.
