Command not recognized via SSH but with docker exec

undefineduser · 11-28-2019, 03:27 AM

Hello,

i'm working with the golang:stretch (Debian Stretch with GO) docker container and wanted to connect directly on the docker container via SSH as root, which worked.
But the go command was not recognized.

When I connect to the container via
" docker exec -ti golang-container bash ", I am also logged in as root and it recognizes the go command. But if I log on to the container with another user, and then as root, he doesn't recognize the go command either.

Could someone tell me why?

Can you provide the commands that fail to run Go?

My guess is that ssh enters a different environment than docker exec, with a different PATH. In the docker exec shell, run type go to check where go is located.

Its just go, for example go run application.go

When Im logged in via docker exec, which go prints a path (/usr/local/go/bin/go), via SSH nothing.

Add /usr/local/go/bin to your PATH. Off-hand, I can't explain why the docker exec shell environment includes the correct PATH, but the ssh environment doesn't.
