Docker running script in entrypoint

Question

In Dockerfile I have defined an entrypoint :

ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "./docker-entrypoint.sh"]

In the docker-entrypoint.sh , I want to create a file ( file.json ) from the template.json , which is nothing but replaces some environment variables with actual values.

#! /bin/bash

eval "echo \"$(<template.json)\"" > file.json; npm start

Now, after getting in the container, I see file.json is empty. But if I execute the exact same command in the bash prompt inside the container, it works, and I see the required contents in file.json .

Why is this behaviour ?

ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "./docker-entrypoint.sh"]

But in your entrypoint file you use bash :

#! /bin/bash
