Docker detach

Goal: attach to a running Docker container and then detach without killing it.

Two possbile solutions:

  1. Always remember to spin up (exec/run) containers using the -i -t flags (interactive and pseudo-tty respecively) so that you can use the detach key sequence (ctl-p, ctrl-q by default) to actually detach from the container.

  2. Pass --sig-proxy=false when you attach so that SIGKILL is not proxied to the container and stays in the current shell.
