Dockerbash

A very basic command line rubygem that makes easier to execute a bash into running Docker containers.

Sometimes when you are running docker containers, you need to inspect the status of services, files, configurations, this gem provides the ability to log into running containers using a GNU Bourne-Shell and debug the container from another shell.

This command line tool has been developed and tested on Gnu/Linux environments, it won't run on Darwin (OS X) systems.

In order to run dockerbash, you must install the package that contains the header files for compiling extension modules for Ruby.
