I have a running pod and I use kubectl attach -ti mypod to give him input.
But then, I would like to "deattach" from my pod and return back to my terminal without terminating my pod. How can I do that?
You can kill the kubectl attach -it .. process without killing the pod:
host$ kubectl attach -it podname
pod$ do something in podOpen the other terminal and find your kubectl attach command and then kill it, something like:
host$ ps x | grep "kubectl attach"
> 1234 pts/22 Sl+ 0:00 kubectl attach -it podname
host$ kill 1234From the kubernetes docs:
To detach from the container, you can type the escape sequence Ctrl+P followed by Ctrl+Q.
Update:
Based on feedback from @Abdelghani:
For the record, this does not work if tty is set to false in the container. I didnt find another way to detach other than killing the pod/container.
