docker: Run command in a new container overwriting the entrypoint of the image.
$ docker run --entrypoint ${command} ${image}
try on your machine

The command docker run --entrypoint ${command} ${image} is used to run a Docker container with a specific entrypoint command.

Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:

  • docker run: This command is used to run a Docker container.
  • --entrypoint ${command}: The --entrypoint flag specifies the command that should run when the container starts. ${command} is a placeholder for the actual command you want to execute. This allows you to override the default entrypoint defined in the Docker image.
  • ${image}: This refers to the Docker image you want to run the container from. ${image} is a placeholder for the actual image name or ID.

When you execute this command, Docker will start a new container from the specified image. It will override the default entrypoint command with the one specified by ${command}. This allows you to customize the behavior of the container by providing a different command to be executed when it starts.
