Just installed a docker Ubuntu container.
All the repositories in the sources list are commented (#) and so I neither can update nor install anything via APT.
There is no editor like nano ,vim etc. Now how do uncomment the entries in the source list ?

  • It seems to me to be against the grain of a container to have updates applied to it. You'd more commonly deploy a newer container. Can you describe your reasons for updating the container internally?

  • I installed the container through the -it Ubuntu bash command. As shown in the hello-world as an example.
