Using nano
dnscryptme edited this page 9 years ago
Start a Bash session in your container
docker exec -it <containername> bash
and run the command
export TERM=xterm
Now you can start and use nano
nano <file>
As well as jed if you are more familiar with Emacs-like bindings.
jed <file>
To make this setting permanent edit the _.bashrc_ file in the container
cd /root
nano .bashrc
Insert the line
export TERM=xterm
before the comment
# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
Your next Bash session has colored output in the command line interface (e.g. with the ls command) and nano starts without fiddling.
