title: Starting a shell in the Docker Alpine container
body: <p>To start an interactive shell for the Ubuntu image we can run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ole@T:~$ docker run -it --rm ubuntu
  root@1a6721e1fb64:/# ls
  bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  lib64  media  mnt  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when this is run for the <a href="https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine/" rel="noreferrer">Alpine Docker image</a>, the following results:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ole@T:~$ docker run -it --rm alpine
  Error response from daemon: No command specified
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the command for starting an interactive shell in an Alpine base container?</p>
