while starting a docker container I have to execute a script inside docker container

Question

while starting a docker container I have to execute a script inside docker container. Can I do it using docker run command or docker start command mentioning the path in docker? I know I have to use CMD in docker file but dockerfile is not present

have you tried docker exec -it mycontainer /bin/bash -c "commands"? — Edcel Cabrera Vista, May 05 '20 at 06:40
@EdcelCabreraVista docker exec command can be used once the container is running. Anyway i found the solution docker run --name TEST -d sh -c " CMD " in CMD section you can give the path of shell script — user3906723, May 05 '20 at 13:39

To enter a running Docker container (get a Bash prompt inside the container), please run the following:

docker container exec -it <container_id> /bin/bash

You can get the container_id by listing running Docker containers with:

docker container ps -a or docker ps -a
