podman-exec - Execute a command in a running container
podman exec container [options] [command [arg ...]]
podman exec executes a command in a running container.
--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 ]
--workdir, -w=""
Working directory inside the container
The default working directory for running binaries within a container is the root directory (/). The image developer can set a different default with the WORKDIR instruction, which can be overridden when creating the container.
