Andrew Pruski shows how to open a Powershell session on a container:
One of the questions that I was asked at SQL Saturday Iceland was “how can I view the filesystem within a container?”.
This is a great question as one of the things that people find off-putting about containers is their opaqueness. It’s not obvious where everything lives within the container or how we can view the files within it.
Thankfully there’s a simple docker command that allows us to open a powershell session within a container, that command is docker exec.
For Linux-based containers, /bin/bash (or your favorite shell, if it’s installed) serves as its analog.
