How to enter the directory of a container?

How can I access the directories of a container from the node which executes the container?

I have root-access to the master-node. Now I would like to have a look at the /etc directory of the etcd pod/container.

kubectl exec does not help, since it is a distroless image which misses the usual shell tools like ls and tar.

I use containerd

I use containerd in my local setup and I use remote etcd server. But the idea explained below can be use for local etcd.

  1. [Optional step] ssh to etcd node. If using local etcd in master then ignore this step.
  2. First find the process ID for the etcd container ps -aux | grep -i etcd

enter image description here

  1. Now lets us the magic /proc directory to find the etcd DB location.

sudo ls /proc/9591/root/var/lib/etcd

enter image description here

  1. Navigate to etcd directory sudo ls /proc/9591/root/etc/kubernetes

enter image description here

  1. Let's check the etcd certiifcates: sudo ls /proc/9591/root/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/

Great! `/proc/PID/root` was new to me.

+1 but please when posting console output / settings format it as "`code`" using [Markdown](http://serverfault.com/editing-help) and/or the formatting options in the edit menu to properly type-set your posts. Also use copy-paste and avoid posting screenshots of text. That improves readability, attracts better answers and allows indexing by search engines, which may help people with similar questions.

you can use the following command (be careful when performing operations):

nsenter -p -m  -t <processid>

basically track the pid of the application inside a container you wish to enter and replace with it's process id

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
