docker-entrypoint-pattern

What problem does it solve?

This skill standardizes how to run multiple commands inside Docker containers by providing a reusable entrypoint.sh pattern that centralizes startup logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Single entrypoint: One script handles multiple startup commands (dev, prod, test, migrate) without modifying the Dockerfile.
• Reliable startup: Includes initialization steps (migrations, health checks) before launching the main process.
• Cross-environment consistency: Works the same across development, staging, and production.

Quick Start

Copy the provided entrypoint template into your project, copy it to /entrypoint.sh, and make it executable. Build your image and run: docker build -t myapp . docker run myapp dev docker run myapp migrate docker run myapp health
