Root Cause

The Dockerfile specifies an ENTRYPOINT or CMD that references a script file (e.g., /entrypoint.sh) that does not exist inside the container image.

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Ensure the entrypoint script is copied into the image. Add a COPY instruction in the Dockerfile: 'COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh' and ensure the file exists in the build context. Example: 'COPY ./scripts/entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh'.

  2. 90% success If the entrypoint is defined in docker-compose.yml, verify the path is correct relative to the container filesystem. Use 'docker run --entrypoint /bin/sh <image>' to inspect the container and confirm the file exists.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Adding 'RUN chmod +x /entrypoint.sh' in the Dockerfile does not help if the file is not copied into the image in the first place.

  2. 80% fail

    Using an absolute path like '/entrypoint.sh' when the file is in a relative directory (e.g., './entrypoint.sh') causes the same error because the file is not at the expected location.
