Is it possible run multiple setup scripts of subdirectories on docker container startup

Question

I would like to run an oracle docker container using docker-compose. In my docker-compose.yml file i mount the docker volume as volumes: - /host/folder:/opt/oracle/scripts/setup

Actually the /host/folder has multiple subdirectories containing some setup scripts which i want them to be executed when i do docker-compose up. Would runScripts.sh in container consider the subdirectories too ?

Answer 1

No. docker-compose does not consider your subdirectories for that.

You can run a specific bash script according to your requirements in which you can execute the specific scripts.

Your docker-compose.yml will look like following:

version: "3"

services:
  setup:
    image: ubuntu:latest
    volumes:
      - ./startup-script.sh:/root/startup-script.sh
      - /host/folder:/opt/oracle/scripts/setup
    entrypoint: "/root/startup-script.sh"
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true

And startup-script.sh will look like following:

#!/bin/bash

bash /directory1/script.sh
bash /directory2/script.sh
bash /directory3/script.sh
bash /directory4/script.sh

/bin/bash
exec "$@"

So, when docker container gets up, startup-script.sh will be executed and it will then execute all of your other required scripts.

Note: If your container is not of ubuntu image and supports sh instead of bash, then you can replace /bin/bash with bin/sh within your docker-compose.yml and startup-script.sh
