Why won't my docker-entrypoint.sh execute?

Question

My ENTRYPOINT script doesn't execute and throws standard_init_linux.go:175: exec user process caused "no such file or directory". Why so?

Doesn't Work

Dockerfile:

COPY vaultConfig.json /vault/config

COPY ./docker-entrypoint.sh /

RUN chmod +x /docker-entrypoint.sh

ENTRYPOINT ["/docker-entrypoint.sh"]

docker-entrypoint.sh:

#!/bin/bash

echo 'Hello World!'

Works

Answer 1

My case was that the alpine image I was using didn't come with bash at all... RUN apk-install bash did the trick obviously

Answer 2

Another possibility:

Check that the file is not saved with Windows line endings (CRLF). If it is, save it with Unix line endings (LF) and it will be found.
