Exec bash on the last run container

There in web are many examples to rm all containers with xargs,
but when to docker exec, you’ll have a command error like this,

~$ docker ps -lq | xargs docker exec bash
Error response from daemon: No such container: bash

I work around with this, but a error too.

$ docker ps -lq | xargs -I % docker exec -it % bash
the input device is not a TTY

I can do it with this,

$ docker exec -it {ID here} bash

What is wrong?

Try removing the “-t” switch.

I’ve had the same problem while trying to run a container from a systemd service unit file:
