Work around docker exec bug
There is currently a docker exec bug in Centos/RHEL 7 that causes errors such as:
# docker exec -i -t instance /bin/sh
rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused "process_linux.go:110: decoding init error from pipe caused \"read parent: connection reset by peer\""
As a work around you can use nsenter instead:
PID=docker inspect --format {{.State.Pid}} <name of container>
nsenter --target $PID --mount --uts --ipc --net --pid /bin/sh
For more information, you can see the bugreport here.
