The entrypoint key in a Docker compose file is useful for running any advanced scripts before the the main cmd is executed.

app:
 image: python:3.11-slim
 entrypoint: ["./entrypoint.sh"]
 command: ["python", "src/app.py"]

I used it recently to inject a .pem certificate into the container before the main execution.

The script must conclude with exec "$@" because it receives the value of the command key in the Compose file as its argument. E.g.

cat /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /zscaler.pem > /tmp/combined-certs.pem
export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/tmp/combined-certs.pem
export SSL_CERT_FILE=/tmp/combined-certs.pem

pip install -r requirements.txt

exec "$@"
