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.
