This is the way I use for calling a script after a container is started without overriding the entrypoint.
In my example, I used it for initializing the replicaset of my local MongoDB
services:
mongo:
image: mongo:4.2.8
hostname: mongo
container_name: mongodb
entrypoint: ["/usr/bin/mongod","--bind_ip_all","--replSet","rs0"]
ports:
- 27017:27017
mongosetup:
image: mongo:4.2.8
depends_on:
- mongo
restart: "no"
entrypoint: [ "bash", "-c", "sleep 10 && mongo --host mongo:27017 --eval 'rs.initiate()'"]
- In the first part, I simply launch my service (mongo)
- The second service use a “bash” entry point AND a
restart: no<= important
I also use a depends_on between service and setup service for manage the launch order.
