How to use a command line command for a Docker

[veritas2884]

I have an rclone docker installed ( https://hub.docker.com/r/tynor88/rclone/ ) and have it pointed to the folder I want backed up.

 

rclone says to configure it you have to run the command

rclone config

 

I have used to telnet to remote into my box but running that command gives me this: -bash: rclone: command not found

 

How do I use a command prompt to run commands for a docker?

 

Sorry I am linux newbi and don't know if I am asking the right questions.

docker exec -it rclone /bin/bash

 

Will open a terminal inside the container

Do the below and substitute the name with the name of the container. Name is case sensitive

 

docker exec -it name rclone config

[saarg]

docker exec -it rclone /bin/bash

 

Will open a terminal inside the container

 

Crap... Now I was too slow....

Thanks to you both for the speedy reply!

Seems like a candidate for the Docker FAQ?  Would someone like to add it there?  Make it as general as possible, but perhaps add an example based on the above.

Excellent!  I added a second question pointing to it, for a different set of newbie searchers.
