hi, i am trying to run splunk on docker for my research project.
unfortunately after i connected to splunk in browser, i want to go to docker shell to do some configurations. so i command this:
docker start -i <CONTAINER ID>
but i did not get response for too many minutes, until i had to close my cmd!
pleas tell me why?
by the way! i try all process (from download image to run docker) 2 times! and got this result every 2 times.
Could it be cause image has system prerequisites
Linux-based operating system (Debian, CentOS, etc.)
and i try to use it on windows 10?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

you can use docker start to enter a stopped container.

Since you are already connected to Splunk, your container is already running and you should use docker exec.

docker exec -it <container_name> bash
