Description
This is a feature request to add a 'vi' command to the docker cli interface. For example:
docker vi pihole:/var/www/html/pihole/index.php
This would allow quick edits without having to import an editor into the container or installing one directly in it. Doesn't have to be vi, maybe it is an edit command and it uses the installed/preferred editor, like crontab does.
