How to Edit a File in a docker container with no Text Editor

 Simply editing a file is an ordeal if you don’t have vim, vi or nano available.

One of the best things to do may be to copy the file from the container to your host machine:

docker cp <container>:/path/to/file.ext .

Edit the file.

Then send it back to the container.

docker cp file.ext <container>:/path/to/file.ext
