+# SSH Into A Docker Container
+
+Before you can SSH into a Docker container, you need to know the name of the
+container.
+
+Run
+
+```bash
+$ docker ps
+```
+
+to list the currently running containers and find the name of the one you want
+to connect to. If you don't see the one you are looking for, it may not be
+running.
+
+Then, you can connect to it by name with a bash session like so:
+
+```bash
+$ docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash
+```
+
+The
+[`-it`](http://docs.docker.oeynet.com/engine/reference/commandline/container_exec/)
+flags open an interactive emulated terminal connection. `/bin/bash` is the
+command that gets run in that context.
