10,117 PointsIf you want to access the shell of a container after running the:
docker run -p 27017:27017 -p 28017:28017 mongotest
You have to expose the shell in the container, if you are running docker >= 1.3
You need you to type in your host OS:
docker exec -it [IDofContainerOrName] bash`
And the you'll be prompted with the mongo db shell of the container :)
