How to get into an App Container Manually with Garden-RunC Backend? So I have been trying this-tutorial to access the runC container from the diego-cell VM. However, when I try to run 

/var/vcap/packages/runc/bin/runc exec -t &lt;instance_id&gt; /bin/bash


I get the error

exec failed: container "&lt;id&gt;" does not exist


when I run cfdot for the given application it does list this instance-id,
also when navigating into the location

/var/vcap/data/garden/depot/&lt;container_id&gt; it exists.

But runc in unable to open the container, also when I run

runc list


the list of running containers in the vm is empty

diego-cell/49dbeca6-36eb-4910-94b9-48960891a0b1:~# /var/vcap/packages/runc/bin/runc list
ID          PID         STATUS      BUNDLE      CREATED     OWNER
diego-cell/49dbeca6-36eb-4910-94b9-48960891a0b1:~#


I've run all as root as mentioned in the link.

Why am I not able to access the runC containers, What am I missing?

P.S: Although the intent is same, I'm not looking for cf ssh
I suspect this may be something coming from containerd changes - running PCF 2.5 the runc list works fine, 2.6 runc list shows nothing in the inventory.  I have not yet found the equivalent command that will allow me to find the container id and how to execute a shell entry to that container instance yet, but I'm hot on the trail.
