Run a process in a running container.

The command started using docker exec will only run while the container's primary process (PID 1) is running, and will not be restarted if the container is restarted.

If the container is paused, then the docker exec command will wait until the container is unpaused, and then run

CAPABILITIES

privileged gives the process extended Linux capabilities when running in a container.

Without this flag, the process run by docker exec in a running container has the same capabilities as the container, which may be limited. Set --privileged to give all capabilities to the process.

USER

user sets the username or UID used and optionally the groupname or GID for the specified command.

The followings examples are all valid: --user [user | user:group | uid | uid:gid | user:gid | uid:group ]

Without this argument the command will be run as root in the container.
