Hello, I have an instance of docker (the supported image).
When I try to docker attach it just shows the cursor blinking on an empty line, there is no response to commands like ls.

How about
docker exec -it app bash -c "your command here"

Yes that worked (with ls)

Done!
But I’d still like to know what the problem was
and
How can I functionally attach?

Is it something like ./launcher enter app that you’re looking for? That’ll give you a shell prompt inside the container. I don’t know how to do it with docker directly, but maybe docker exec -it app bash

Indeed that is my objective, I want to sniff around the database tables.
I will try docker exec -it app bash
I thought that this was what docker attach was for, but I’m not an expert.
Looking further based on the hints fomr @pfaffman and @Ed_S, this answer from SO explained it well (accepted answer)
EDIT: the point is that a web server is running on the image, so docker attach doesn’t work, but the exec command does
Then maybe use the data explorer plugin. That’s a much better way to explore the database.
But maybe you’d be interested in Administrative Bulk Operations
