Docker
1

hello can someone kindly guide me why i am unable to get the root prompt in WIndows powershell post the command “docker run -it ubuntu”. I am new to docker and ubuntu hence i am unable to progress with other video tutorials on docker from Mosh.

i have successfully installed using “docker run ubuntu” command which will check and pull the docker

docker ps -a ( i can see the ubuntu with “bash” . thanks

What do you see with “docker run -it ubuntu”?

Hi.
Isn’t it just how it should be ?
When you start Linux you don’t have root access by default.
Some images attach on root by default but this depends on how they were prepared.

I never had such need so I don’t know myself but I found something that should be of interest for you.

Running as root on Docker images that don’t use root

Regards.
