## Getting a shell to a Container
|
||||
|
||||
In this exercise, you create a Pod that has one Container. The Container
|
||||
runs the nginx image. Here is the configuration file for the Pod:
|
||||
|
||||
{% include code.html language="yaml" file="shell-demo.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/shell-demo.yaml" %}
|
||||
|
||||
Create the Pod:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/shell-demo.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Verify that the Container is running:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl get pod shell-demo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Get a shell to the running Container:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl exec -it shell-demo -- /bin/bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In your shell, list the running processes:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# ps aux
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In your shell, list the nginx processes:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# ps aux | grep nginx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In your shell, experiment with other commands. Here are
|
||||
some examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# ls /
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# cat /proc/mounts
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# cat /proc/1/maps
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get update
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get install tcpdump
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# tcpdump
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get install lsof
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# lsof
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Writing the root page for nginx
|
||||
|
||||
Look again at the configuration file for your Pod. The Pod
|
||||
has an `emptyDir` volume, and the Container mounts the volume
|
||||
at `/usr/share/nginx/html`.
|
||||
|
||||
In your shell, create an `index.html` file in the `/usr/share/nginx/html`
|
||||
directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# echo Hello shell demo > /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In your shell, send a GET request to the nginx server:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get update
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# apt-get install curl
|
||||
root@shell-demo:/# curl localhost
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The output shows the text that you wrote to the `index.html` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
Hello shell demo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When you are finished with your shell, enter `exit`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running individual commands in a Container
|
||||
|
||||
In an ordinary command window, not your shell, list the environment
|
||||
variables in the running Container:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl exec shell-demo env
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Experiment running other commands. Here are some examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl exec shell-demo ps aux
|
||||
kubectl exec shell-demo ls /
|
||||
kubectl exec shell-demo cat /proc/1/mounts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{% endcapture %}
|
||||
|
||||
{% capture discussion %}
|
||||
|
||||
## Opening a shell when a Pod has more than one Container
|
||||
|
||||
If a Pod has more than one Container, use `--container` or `-c` to
|
||||
specify a Container in the `kubectl exec` command. For example,
|
||||
suppose you have a Pod named my-pod, and the Pod has two containers
|
||||
named main-app and helper-app. The following command would open a
|
||||
shell to the main-app Container.
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
kubectl exec -it my-pod --container main-app -- /bin/bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{% endcapture %}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

||||
