Attach to a running container

podman attach [options] container

podman container attach [options] container

podman attach attaches to a running container using the container's name or ID, to either view its ongoing output or to control it interactively.
The container can detached from (and leave it running) using a configurable key sequence. The default sequence is ctrl-p,ctrl-q. Configure the keys sequence using the --detach-keys OPTION, or specifying it in the containers.conf file: see containers.conf(5) for more information.

--detach-keys=sequence

Specify the key sequence for detaching a container. Format is a single character [a-Z] or one or more ctrl-<value> characters where <value> is one of: a-z, @, ^, [, , or _. Specifying "" will disable this feature.
The default is ctrl-p,ctrl-q.

--latest, -l

Instead of providing the container ID or name, use the last created container. If other methods than Podman are used to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
The default is false.
IMPORTANT: This OPTION is not available with the remote Podman client. This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input argument.

--no-stdin

Do not attach STDIN. The default is false.

--sig-proxy

Proxy received signals to the process (non-TTY mode only). SIGCHLD, SIGSTOP, and SIGKILL are not proxied.
The default is true.

$ podman attach foobar

$ podman attach --latest

Attach to a container that start with the ID "1234".

$ podman attach 1234
