bash: line : docker: command not found - linux

Question

I am using jenkins in a docker container and would like to start another instance, whenever I try to use docker command like
docker run -t -i ap/dashboard /bin/bash
I get this error:
bash: line 61: docker: command not found
How do I navigate to another container or solve this error?
I can clearly see that the vm creator was able to use the docker command by reading the /root/.ash_history
here are some details about the system:

I tried many docker commands without hope
is it because that I'm already inside the container??

Answer 1

Try with docker run -t -i ap/dashboard /bin/ash.
Maybe your container does not use bash so you should try with /bin/sh which is a symcolic link to the default installed shell processor.
