Which docker command lets us attach to a running container?

Question

Can anyone tell me which docker command lets us attach to a running container?

Answer 1

You can use docker command “docker attach” to attach your terminal’s standard input, output, and error to a running container by using either container’s ID or name.

This docker command helps you to see its currently running output or to control it interactively.

Here is an example of using docker attach to a running container:

$ docker run -d --name topdemo ubuntu /usr/bin/top -b

$ docker attach topdemo
