### Understand how CMD and ENTRYPOINT interact
Both `CMD` and `ENTRYPOINT` instructions define what command gets executed when running a container.
There are few rules that describe their co-operation.
1. Dockerfile should specify at least one of `CMD` or `ENTRYPOINT` commands.
2. `ENTRYPOINT` should be defined when using the container as an executable.
3. `CMD` should be used as a way of defining default arguments for an `ENTRYPOINT` command
or for executing an ad-hoc command in a container.
4. `CMD` will be overridden when running the container with alternative arguments.
The table below shows what command is executed for different `ENTRYPOINT` / `CMD` combinations:
| | No ENTRYPOINT | ENTRYPOINT exec_entry p1_entry | ENTRYPOINT ["exec_entry", "p1_entry"] |
|--------------------------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| **No CMD** | *error, not allowed* | /bin/sh -c exec_entry p1_entry | exec_entry p1_entry |
| **CMD ["exec_cmd", "p1_cmd"]** | exec_cmd p1_cmd | /bin/sh -c exec_entry p1_entry exec_cmd p1_cmd | exec_entry p1_entry exec_cmd p1_cmd |
| **CMD ["p1_cmd", "p2_cmd"]** | p1_cmd p2_cmd | /bin/sh -c exec_entry p1_entry p1_cmd p2_cmd | exec_entry p1_entry p1_cmd p2_cmd |
| **CMD exec_cmd p1_cmd** | /bin/sh -c exec_cmd p1_cmd | /bin/sh -c exec_entry p1_entry /bin/sh -c exec_cmd p1_cmd | exec_entry p1_entry /bin/sh -c exec_cmd p1_cmd |
