How do you connect to haproxy docker container running alpinelinux haproxy using entrypoint.sh?

This is our documentation on the image, I'm not sure what you're wanting to do but you should ask the Docker Community Forums, the Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow. As these repositories are for issues with the image and not necessarily for questions of usability

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I am trying to connect to the container using bash or sh and its not working. Container is running fine and I can also see its logs through docker logs etc.. I also reached to the docker forums and they told me that i might be running into bug . I might be running into a bug when i am trying to connect o the container using bash and also checked the google forums

#sudo docker exec -it d28bf4a370dc sh
rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:110: decoding init error from pipe caused "read parent: connection reset by peer""

#sudo docker exec -it d28bf4a370dc /bin/bash
rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:110: decoding init error from pipe caused "read parent: connection reset by peer""

what is the best way to connect to this haproxy container using bash. Is anything specific parameter need to be passed for entrypoint?. Or regular udo docker exec -it d28bf4a370dc sh or bash or /bin/bash is the right way to connect to the container to get a shell into container?

Looks like you're running into a bug in the RPM package https://stackoverflow.com/a/53612348/9959005

And there's no bash in the alpine images, you can simplify your exec'ing with a --name

docker run -dit --name alpine alpine:latest
docker exec -it alpine sh
