Not working on windows 11
Author: mauudevCreated Jan 27, 2024Updated Jul 27, 2025
I have installed docker desktop + compose plugin, but when I initialize the compose process it fails with an syntax error:
ps_backend | ./scripts/wait-for-it.sh: 6: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting "}")I changed the entry point from /bin/bash to /bin/sh with no effect.
This is how my dockerfile looks like:
FROM python:3.11.3-bullseye
ENV DOCKER_ENV=True
ENV PYTHONPATH=/src
ENV PATH="/root/.local/bin:${PATH}"
WORKDIR /src
COPY . /src
RUN apt update -y && apt upgrade -y && apt install curl -y
RUN curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
RUN poetry install --no-dev
RUN chmod +x ./scripts/starter.sh
RUN chmod +x ./scripts/wait-for-it.sh
RUN chmod +x ./scripts/run-backend.sh
EXPOSE 8000
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/sh"]It works with no issues on debian or ubuntu distros, but why is it failing on windows?
