kuke attach

Attach to an Attachable container's sbsh terminal.

kuke attach <cell> [flags]
kuke att    <cell> [flags]      # alias

<cell> is a positional argument. --realm, --space, and --stack all default to default, so for a cell in the default location you only need the cell name.

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
--container	(auto-pick)	Container within the cell to attach to (omit to auto-pick the only non-root attachable)
--realm	default	Realm that owns the cell
--space	default	Space that owns the cell
--stack	default	Stack that owns the cell

Plus all global flags.

Container selection

If the cell has exactly one non-root attachable container, --container can be omitted. Otherwise, pass --container explicitly. Containers must be marked attachable in the cell spec to be a valid target.

Detaching

Press ^]^] (two consecutive Ctrl-] keystrokes) to detach cleanly. The cell keeps running and you can re-attach later with the same command.

If the workload exits or the peer hangs up, the attach loop exits and the CLI returns to your shell.

Examples

# Attach to a cell in the default location
sudo kuke attach myshell

# Attach to a cell in a non-default location
sudo kuke attach wp --realm default --space blog --stack wordpress

# Explicit container in a multi-container cell
sudo kuke attach web --container debug
