Docker container does not give me a shell

[Jett600]

I am trying to get a shell inside the Docker container moul/phoronix-test-suite on Docker Hub using this command

 
 docker run -t -i moul/phoronix-test-suite /bin/bash

but just after executing the command (binary file), the container stops and I get no shell into it.

 
 [slazer@localhost ~]$ docker ps -a CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                      COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                     PORTS               NAMES 0993189463e6        moul/phoronix-test-suite   "phoronix-test-suite "   7 seconds ago       Exited (0) 3 seconds ago                       kickass_shockley

It is a ubuntu:trusty container. How can I get a shell into it, so that I can send arguments to the command phoronix-test-suite?

docker run -t -i moul/phoronix-test-suite /bin/bash will not give you a bash (contrary to docker run -it fedora bash)

According to its Dockerfile, what it will do is execute mobdro
phoronix-test-suite /bin/bash
Meaning, it will pass /bin/bash as parameter to phoronix-test-suite, which will exit immediately. That leaves you no time to execute a docker exec -it <container> bash in order to open a bash in an active container session.

this worked me????
