how do i put multiple commands in entrypoint?

[imperialguy]

I am looking for something like this:

podman run --entrypoint "/sbin/init && /path/to/my/script.sh"

You don't. That makes no sense. If you are going to use systemd, then add your script.sh as a unit file to be started by systemd at boot.

I know, but I didn't pick that route because my script is not exactly a service. And systemd unit files are usually meant for services.

If you are saying there's no other choice, then I am gonna have to treat my script as a service and make a unit file for it. But, I was wondering if someone has figured out an alternative solution already.

While Podman does support multi-part entrypoints (e.g. --entrypoint '["/foo/bar", "arg1", "arg2"]') this is only for specifying a single command with multiple parts, IE path to a command and arguments. You cannot use an entrypoint to start 2 distinct commands; there is no way in Podman to do this at present, outside of a separate podman exec command run after the container is started.

You can setup a one time unit file to run what every you want. No reason to be a service. There is a lot of stuff in unit files that just init the system or container.
