**[root@ansiblecontrolnode dockerbuild]# docker attach 36161bcee5bc**

You cannot attach to a stopped container, start it first

**[root@ansiblecontrolnode dockerbuild]# docker ps -a**

Question - Why I am not able to get into this container?

  • It looks like container started (and stopped as well) and that is why you cannot "get into" your container.

  • Right Alexus. but we can start the stopped container. Jun 6, 2018 at 11:43
  • Have you tried docker logs CONTAINER_ID?
