docker-debug
is an troubleshooting running docker container,
which allows you to run a new container in running docker for debugging purpose.
The new container will join the pid
, network
, user
, filesystem
and ipc
namespaces of the target container,
so you can use arbitrary trouble-shooting tools without pre-installing them in your production container image.
Install the docker-debug
cli

docker-debug uses nicolaka/netshoot as the default image to run debug container. You can override the default image with cli flag, or even better, with config file ~/.docker-debug/config.toml
version = "0.7.5"
image = "nicolaka/netshoot:latest"
mount_dir = "/mnt/container"
timeout = 10000000000
config_default = "default"

- support windows7(Docker Toolbox)
- support windows10
- refactoring code
- add testing
- add changelog
- add README_CN.md
- add brew package
- docker-debug version manage config file
- cli command set mount target container filesystem
- mount volume filesystem
- docker connection config on cli command
-
-v
cli args support - docker-debug signal handle smooth exit
- cli command document on readme
- config file document on readme
- add http api and web shell
- find image docker is has, not has pull the image.
- find container name is has, not has return error.
- from customize image runs a new container in the container's namespaces (ipc, pid, network, etc, filesystem) with the STDIN stay open.
- create and run a exec on new container.
- Debug in the debug container.
- then waits for the debug container to exit and do the cleanup.
