You have to be more specific. Are you trying to run vi inside a container, if so which image is the container based on? In all likelihood you don't have vi installed. (apt-get install vim)

It depends on whichimageyou are building from. Most probablyimageyou are using is so lighter that it only has things you need to run as an image. You need to manually install packages you need.

The command to run depends on what base image you are using.
For Alpine, vi is installed as part of the base OS. Installing vim would be:
apk -U add vim
For Debian and Ubuntu:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim
For CentOS, vi is usually installed with the base OS. For vim:
yum install -y vim
This should only be done in early development. Once you get a working container, the changes to files should be made to your image or configs stored outside of your container. Update your Dockerfile and other files it uses to build a new image. This certainly shouldn't be done in production since changes inside the container are by design ephemeral and will be lost when the container is replaced.

Alternatively, keep your docker images small by not installing unnecessary editors. You can edit the files over ssh from the docker host to the container:
vim scp://remoteuser@container-ip//path/to/document

To install within your Docker container you can run command
docker exec apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim
But this will be limited to the container in which vim is installed.
To make it available to all the containers, edit the Dockerfile and add
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim
or you can also extend the image in the new Dockerfile and add above command. Eg.
FROM < image name >
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim

Inside container(in docker, not in VM), by default these are not installed.
Even apt-get, wget will not work. My VM is running on Ubuntu 17.10. For me yum package manaager worked.
Yum is not part of debian or ubuntu. It is part of red-hat. But, it works in Ubuntu and it is installed by default like apt-get
Tu install vim, use this command
yum install -y vim-enhanced
To uninstall
yum install -y vim-enhanced
Similarly,
yum install -y wget
yum install -y sudo
-y is for assuming yes if prompted for any qustion asked after doing yum install packagename

Alternatively, keep your docker images small by not installing unnecessary editors. You can edit the files over ssh from the docker host to the container:
vim scp://remoteuser@container-ip//path/to/document

To install within your Docker container you can run command
docker exec apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim
But this will be limited to the container in which vim is installed.
To make it available to all the containers, edit the Dockerfile and add
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim
or you can also extend the image in the new Dockerfile and add above command. Eg.
FROM < image name >
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y vim

Inside container(in docker, not in VM), by default these are not installed.
Even apt-get, wget will not work. My VM is running on Ubuntu 17.10. For me yum package manaager worked.
Yum is not part of debian or ubuntu. It is part of red-hat. But, it works in Ubuntu and it is installed by default like apt-get
Tu install vim, use this command
yum install -y vim-enhanced
To uninstall
yum install -y vim-enhanced
Similarly,
yum install -y wget
yum install -y sudo
-y is for assuming yes if prompted for any qustion asked after doing yum install packagename

vi may not be installed inside container. Which container have you installed and run?

You have to be more specific. Are you trying to run vi inside a container, if so which image is the container based on? In all likelihood you don't have vi installed. (apt-get install vim)

It depends on which
imageyou are building from. Most probablyimageyou are using is so lighter that it only has things you need to run as an image. You need to manually install packages you need.– illusionist

You probably shouldn't be doing config inside a container. Do it in the Dockerfile instead.
