    This is a very helpful guide for anyone working with Docker and wanting to access a running container. Using docker exec -it /bin/bash (or /bin/sh) is the simplest and safest way to interact with the container for debugging or inspecting files without installing an SSH server. This approach makes it easy to troubleshoot, explore the container environment, and run commands directly, which is essential for effective DevOps and container management workflows. Great explanation!
