what does nginx command do inside the container?

Question

I have a pod with nginx image, but it also has the command "nginx".

apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: nx spec: containers:

name: nginx image: nginx command: ["nginx"] #what does this do? it's not bin/sh -c args: ["-g", "daemon off;", "-q"] ports:
- containerPort: 80

-g daemon off is means 'nginx runs in quiet mode.

But what is 'nginx' cmd actually? Does it mean it says enter the actual web-server nginx?

https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx/search?l=dockerfile got some good explanation — P...., Jan 31 '22 at 05:41

In case you want to run nginx in a docker container, when you set nginx -g 'daemon off; you run as a background process as mentioned before, in addition that you can interact with the container terminal.
