Docker-images: root password of container

[AlpNek]

What is the root password of the container?

More information would be helpful. There are many projects and many samples in this repository.

There is no root password inside a container. It's never set during the build process.

You can change the sample Dockerfile's to set one or if you just want to look around, then you can use one of the many examples found with a little Googling:

docker exec -u 0 -it mycontainer bash

docker exec -u 0 -it oracledb bash
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "chdir to cwd (\"/home/oracle\") set in config.json failed: permission denied": unknown

I am running an Oracle 12.2.0.1 DB in docker container, but cannot get root access.

Found solution to root access by adding "--workdir /" explicitly:

docker exec -u root --workdir / -ti oracledb /bin/sh

It works Thank you very much.
