Useful shell commands¶
This document describes a few useful shell commands. For more Docker commands, see More about Docker.
Opening a shell¶

Open a shell on an already running container (e.g. via
docker-compose up
):
$ docker-compose exec django entrypoint.sh
Or open a shell on a new container, and remove it on exit:
$ docker-compose run --rm django
Without Docker¶
Or open a shell without Docker from the GLAMkit project template (or a GLAMkit project) directory:
$ cd project_template
$ ./go.sh
you can get a shell and skip the Django operations with:
$ ./go.sh bash
