Description

import docker

client = docker.DockerClient("tcp://192.168.186.144:2375")
socket = client.containers.get("cb07b0ec35c2").exec_run("/bin/bash", stdin=True, socket=True)
socket._sock.sendall(b"ls / -la\n")
data= socket._sock.recv(1024)
print(data)
try:
unknown_byte = socket._sock.recv(1024)
print(unknown_byte)
while True:
part = socket._sock.recv(1024)
data += part
if len(part) < buffer_size:
break
except Exception:
pass
socket._sock.send(b"exit\n")

It will get stuck after execution。

Research direction

Start by reproducing the provided DockerClient and exec_run example against a Docker Engine endpoint, focusing on the socket reads after sending ls / -la\n. Compare the behavior with docker exec -it ubuntu /bin/bash; done means interactive command output is received and the session can exit without hanging.
