How to specify working directory for ENTRYPOINT in Dockerfile

Question

The Docker image (Windows-based) includes an application directory at C:\\App. Inside that directory reside several sub-folders and files, including a batch file ca

Answer 1

If /App is a mounted volume then you should specify VOLUME /App before WORKDIR to use it with ENTRYPOINT, otherwise it does not be seen by ENTRYPOINT:

VOLUME ["/App"]
WORKDIR /App
ENTRYPOINT ["sh", "start.sh"]

Which start.sh is within /App directory.

Answer 2

WORKDIR /App is a command you can use in your dockerfile to change the working directory.
