I'd like to start a screen session inside an LXD-managed container so that I could detach running processes and maybe re-attach in the future when I want to check on their status.

I tried to attach to the container running

$ lxc exec my-ubuntu -- /bin/bash

and then start a session with screen -x, but I get the following error:

Must be connected to a terminal.

I can see that many people have had a similar problem when trying to initiate screen from ssh, but I couldn't apply the suggested solution to my case.

lxc gnu-screen lxd

For LXD using

lxc exec my-ubuntu -- sh -c "exec >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty </dev/tty && /usr/bin/screen -s /bin/bash"

or

lxc exec my-ubuntu -- sh -c "exec >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty </dev/tty && /usr/bin/screen -x"

or with any other screen switch.

---

The same for Docker
;)

docker run -it my-ubuntu sh -c "exec >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty </dev/tty && /usr/bin/screen -s /bin/bash"

  Well, I would normally do screen -x, but trying lxc exec my-ubuntu -- sh -c "exec >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty </dev/tty && /usr/bin/screen -x doesn't work, and neither does lxc exec my-ubuntu -- sh -c "exec >/dev/tty 2>/dev/tty </dev/tty && /usr/bin/screen -r <pid>.tty.my-ubuntu". Nor can I do screen -x from within bash in the container.
