CLI

Docker container terminal from your phone

Whether you need the container's shell or the host running it, codemote-cli gets you a real terminal from your phone.

Run npx codemote-cli start on the host running your containers, and you get a terminal on that host from your phone. From there, docker exec -it into whichever container you need, the same as you would at a desk.

Start a session on the host

$npx codemote-cli start

Pair your phone, open a terminal in the app, and reach a container shell directly:

$docker exec -it my-container sh

Watch a build or a running service

Persistent shells mean a docker compose up or a build you kicked off keeps streaming even after you background the app. Come back and the output is still there.

Files and Git on the host

Alongside the terminal you get the host’s file tree with image and Markdown preview, and a full Git UI for the project driving your containers: stage, diff, commit, push.

This reaches the Docker host’s terminal, from which you can exec into any container. It isn’t a container-specific UI.

Questions

Can I get a shell inside a running container?

Yes. Pair codemote-cli with the host running your containers, open a terminal, and run docker exec -it <container> sh (or bash) exactly as you would locally.
