Automatically create SQLite database and run Prisma migrations in Docker for Next.js app
Hey! 👋 Sorry for the delayed response, and thank you so much for your detailed reply—it really helped me understand how to set things up correctly! In the end, I opted for a similar solution, using a specific entrypoint file in the Dockerfile. Here's how I implemented it: In the Dockerfile: 
COPY --chown=nextjs:nodejs entrypoint.sh ./entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh

CMD ["node", "server.js"]

ENTRYPOINT ["./entrypoint.sh"]
COPY --chown=nextjs:nodejs entrypoint.sh ./entrypoint.sh
RUN chmod +x ./entrypoint.sh

CMD ["node", "server.js"]

ENTRYPOINT ["./entrypoint.sh"]
And here's the content of the entrypoint.sh file: 
#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Prisma migrations
npx prisma migrate deploy & PID=$!
wait $PID

exec "$@"
#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Prisma migrations
npx prisma migrate deploy & PID=$!
wait $PID

exec "$@"
Two quick tips based on my experience: - Carefully check the location of your entrypoint.sh file. - Always add #!/bin/sh at the beginning of your entrypoint script because bash may not work correctly inside Alpine Docker images (so you need to use sh). Thanks again for your valuable help! 🙏😊
