= The pid namespace is not a Linux kernel namespace that is disabled by default and must be enabled at Docker engine runtime to be used. The pid namespace is one of the six namespaces that are enabled by default when you run a container with Docker1. The pid namespace isolates the process ID number space, meaning that processes in different pid namespaces can have the same PID2. This allows containers to have their own init process with PID 1 and to limit the visibility and interaction of processes between containers and the host3. To disable the pid namespace, you need to use the --pid option with the docker run command and specify the host or another container as the pid mode. References:
