NAME

podman-exec - Execute a command in a running container

SYNOPSIS

podman exec container [options] [command [arg ...]]

DESCRIPTION

podman exec executes a command in a running container.

OPTIONS

--env, -e

You may specify arbitrary environment variables that are available for the command to be executed.

--interactive, -i

Not supported. All exec commands are interactive by default.

--latest, -l

Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

--privileged

Give the process extended Linux capabilities when running the command in container.

--tty, -t

Allocate a pseudo-TTY.

--user, -u

Sets the username or UID used and optionally the groupname or GID for the specified command. The following examples are all valid: --user [user | user:group | uid | uid:gid | user:gid | uid:group ]
