[SOLVED] python don´t excecute when start container with crontab

Issue

I try to execute a python when the container start. I use crontab in the container:

crontab -l

@reboot python3.10 /opt/django/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8002

But when I stop and start container with portainer the python didn't execute

Solution

The way you're trying to do this is not correct. Go to python image page on Docker hub, get the Dockerfile

FROM python:3

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD [ "python", "./your-daemon-or-script.py" ]

Then build your image. The script will start on container startup.
