NAME¶

docker-compose-exec - Execute a command in a running container

SYNOPSIS¶

docker compose exec [OPTIONS] SERVICE COMMAND [ARGS...]

DESCRIPTION¶

This is the equivalent of docker exec targeting a Compose service.

With this subcommand, you can run arbitrary commands in your services. Commands allocate a TTY by default, so you can use a command such as docker compose exec web sh to get an interactive prompt.

OPTIONS¶

-d, --detach[=false] Detached mode: Run command in the background

-e, --env=[] Set environment variables

-h, --help[=false] help for exec

--index=0 Index of the container if service has multiple replicas

-T, --no-TTY[=true] Disable pseudo-TTY allocation. By default docker compose exec allocates a TTY.

--privileged[=false] Give extended privileges to the process

-u, --user="" Run the command as this user

-w, --workdir="" Path to workdir directory for this command

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS¶

--dry-run[=false] Execute command in dry run mode
