After installing TorizonCORE for the first time, it shows a portainer.io user interface.
Where I can see that 3 containers are running, but I can not see them.
I tried to attach them to them, but it did not work.
How do I see them in action?

Hi @jsaak !

Actually, you have already seen them in action :slight_smile:

You have 3 containers: Weston, Kiosk Browser, and Portainer.

  • Weston is the container that lets Kiosk Browser make use of the Weston graphics stack (here you can include GPU accelerated stuff, if available)
  • Kiosk Browser is the web browser itself. Without this one, you would not be able to see the Portainer page on the monitor/display connected to your module.
  • Portainer is the page that you are actually seen. This is only possible due to the functionality of the previous containers.

You can actually attach/exec some of the containers. But it you only attach, you might end in a non-interactive shell, because of the nature of the process running.

For weston container, e.g. you can:

docker exec -it weston_container_name sh

This way you will drop into a shell that is running from the weston container.

Best regards,
