Hi @karolzlot! I believe this is due to the @docker trying to execute the local docker command insdie a unix sh shell. I've not got Windows access currently but need to double check this - I think that both @docker and @local connectors will be broken due to this.

However - it's possible to override this value via the --shell-executable CLI flag. I've not tested but one of these may work:

pyinfra --shell-executable ps @docker/ubuntu:18.04 exec -- echo "hello world"
pyinfra --shell-executable pws @docker/ubuntu:18.04 exec -- echo "hello world"

I'll be able to test this properly on my Windows laptop over the next few days.

Because this issue related let me put some research on issue and in general how to make @local works on windows:

1. some facts (Home, Where, Date) force shell-executable=cmd so cli option has no effect and dont work at all because @local use cmd -c and its wrong syntax

2. escaping problems...pyinfra send command in single quotes so powershell -c interprets it as string and not command to execute i.e. I've try to rewrite facts that use cmd and cannot execute command because of this

--> Gathering facts...
    [pyinfra\api\facts] Getting fact: windows.Home () (ensure_hosts: None)
[pyinfra\connectors\local] --> Running command on localhost: pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -c 'Write-Host $env:HOMEPATH'
[@local] >>> pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -c 'Write-Host $env:HOMEPATH'
[@local] Write-Host $env:HOMEPATH
[pyinfra\connectors\util] --> Waiting for exit status...
[pyinfra\connectors\util] --> Command exit status: 0
    [@local] Loaded fact windows.Home

--> Fact data for: windows.Home
{
    "@local": "Write-Host $env:HOMEPATH\r"
}

3. problems with parsing cli commands in powershell (could be my personal issue or related to 2) i.e.

   $>pyinfra.exe @local --shell-executable=pwsh exec -- ls
   Invalid operations: ('ls',)
   

   same command in cmd works as expected
