docker-bash won't run on boot2docker since bash is missing

[amjibaly]

This new docker-bash feature looks really cool, would it be possible to get this to run in boot2docker however? If it's pretty easy to install bash in boot2docker then maybe it's not worth it but I'm not sure what that would take.

I would hazard that docker-bash doesn't really need bash, and you could
just change it to use whatever shell is actually provided by boot2docker...
it's a very small script.

It's also worth looking at nsenter, I heard about this today:
http://jpetazzo.github.io/2014/06/23/docker-ssh-considered-evil/

"The short version is: with nsenter, you can get a shell into an existing
container, even if that container doesn't run SSH or any kind of
special-purpose daemon."

+1 for nsenter, that looks like a really good approach.

nsenter looks really good. lxc-attach stopped working since Docker 0.9 but it looks like nsenter does the same thing.

That said, if your concern is boot2docker, then nsenter won't work either.

Closing this issue. Discussion should be continued on #103.
