Hi there,
I’d really like to have “docker debug” command from the command line, without the full Docker Desktop application. Is there any plan to have it implemented ?
Regards,
This is a Docker user-to-user community forum. Check Docker Roadmap.
Opened a feature request : Make "docker debug" available for Docker Engine (standalone CLI, without Docker Desktop) · Issue #893 · docker/roadmap · GitHub

Right now the cli plugin docker debug is a closed source product, only available as part of Docker Desktop. It used to be tied to a paid subscription, but is generally available for every Docker Desktop user for quite some time now.
Good you opened an issue in the roadmap, this allows Docker Inc. to actually see your request to change the product strategy by asking to open source it.

I just read the issue. Afaik, docker debug by itself does not modify the main container it creates an ephemeral container that joins the namespaces (network, mount, ipc, ..) of the main container.
You can try if https://github.com/zeromake/docker-debug/ is a feasible alternative. I stumbled across it a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t use it yet.
