Server Start or Init functions

I plan to deploy via docker on our own infra (aws) and I'd like to run some setup script which loads secrets from a vault before the server actually starts (in next.js I used the instrumentation.ts file) - what would be the equivalent or best practice for this in "Start"?

you can create a nitro.config.ts file at the root of your project with this content

export default defineNitroConfig({
  plugins: ['plugins/startup.ts'],
})

export default defineNitroConfig({
  plugins: ['plugins/startup.ts'],
})

and a plugins/startup.ts file with this content

export default async () => {
  // do your thing
}

export default async () => {
  // do your thing
}

watch out though: it's NOT blocking, it runs in parallel to the server starting, not before. currently i dont think there is any way to run something before the server starts
