No shell to exec into in Docker

DockerBase ImagesDistrolessadvanced

What this snippet does

Distroless images have no /bin/sh, so debugging needs a sidecar or a debug-tagged variant.

Expected output

OCI runtime exec failed: exec: "sh": executable file not found in $PATH

Why practise typing this

Typing base images code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Docker uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
