canasta maintenance exec

Execute a command in a running container

Synopsis

Execute a command or open an interactive shell in a running container of a Canasta instance.

With no arguments and no --service flag, lists the running services. With --service (or -s) and no command, opens an interactive bash shell. With --service and a command, runs that command.

Flags (-i, -s) must come before the command. Everything after the first non-flag argument is treated as the command and its arguments.

The default service is "web" (the MediaWiki container).

canasta maintenance exec [flags] [command ...]

Examples

  # List running services
  canasta maintenance exec -i myinstance

  # Open a shell in the web container
  canasta maintenance exec -i myinstance -s web

  # Run a command in the web container
  canasta maintenance exec -i myinstance -s web ls /var/www

  # Default service is "web", so this also works
  canasta maintenance exec -i myinstance php -v
