Hey all,  
looking to win the dumb question of the week prize here, I guess, but to me the documentation on how to use WP CLI with DevKinsta is just outstandingly unhelpful: what on god’s green earth is the devkinsta\_fpm container, into which I’m supposed to enter some docker commands?  
It’s probably neither my usual Shell (entering the command here yanks me into where- or whatever `www-data@85889d576683:/www/kinsta$` is) nor the Terminal for devkinsta\_fpm inside the Docker app (which just states `/bin/sh: 1: docker: not found` after the command).

Thanks for any insight into what must be very obvious, since I can’t find any explanation whatsoever.

Found it.  
By entering `docker exec -u www-data -it devkinsta_fpm bash` into the OS Shell one _is entered into the Docker container_, and the www bit of `cd /www/kinsta/public/siteName` has to do with server/Docker things and does not exist in the real OS filesystem.

It’s probably the Container thingy that threw me off here; as a user of MAMP Pro, the newer «lightning» LocalWP builds and currently Laravel Valet this is an additional complication.
