Can you elaborate on why you need these commands and what blocks you from running them on the host or doing docker inspect on a container?

[SumanSaurabh44]

I have Client (java code on eclipse neon on my laptop) and server (java code on eclipse che at codenvy). I am not able to establish the connection between them because full access of virtual servers (CentOs+java or Ubuntu+java) are restricted.

You may install packages yourself as a workaround

[SumanSaurabh44]

What all packages needs to be installed in order to have full virtual server (Linux) access? My understanding is that when I choose a stack like (CentOS+ java), I should get full access of Centos.

No, you need to install packages yourself. Your workspace is a Docker container, not a VM.

[SumanSaurabh44]

Can you please provide me name of the packages and steps to install required packages in order to have full access to virtual server.

You need to google it. It is appropriate for you to do more research and investigation on these matters.

sudo apt-get install net-tools -y will install it for an Ubuntu container. I think CentOS is the same: yum install net-tools -y

[SumanSaurabh44]

I tried the below commands but still I have the same issue. I am unable to install any required packages. Please help me in resolving that.
sudo apt-get install net-tools -y
yum install net-tools -y

I just tried installing net-tools on Ubuntu and ifconfig as well as ip ad sh worked for me.

Closing the issue.
