The most common editor is vi. To install some packages into your container you have to know it's base image. Most of distros create a special file in /etc/ with all necessary information: something-release, you can find it out with this command:

cat /etc/*release

And then use the package manager of current distro.

  • for Alpine it will be apk update && apk add vim.
  • for Ubuntu/Debian - apt update && apt install vim.
  • for Centos/RedHat/Fedora - yum install vim
  • etc
