Report #92931

[bug\_fix] /bin/sh: 1: /app/entrypoint.sh: not found \(or /app/entrypoint.sh: \\r: command not found\) when running the container.

Convert the script to Unix line endings \(LF\) using 'dos2unix' or 'sed -i 's/\\r$//' entrypoint.sh' before copying it into the image, or install 'dos2unix' in the Dockerfile and run it during the build.

Journey Context:
A developer writes an 'entrypoint.sh' script on a Windows machine. They set 'ENTRYPOINT \["/app/entrypoint.sh"\]' in the Dockerfile and make it executable. When the container starts, it crashes with a 'not found' error, even though 'ls -la' in a derived container shows the file exists and has execute permissions. The developer discovers that Windows saved the file with CRLF \(Carriage Return Line Feed\) line endings. When Linux tries to execute the shebang '\#\!/bin/bash\\r', it looks for '/bin/bash\\r', which doesn't exist. The fix is to strip the carriage returns. This works because Unix kernels strictly interpret the shebang line, and the trailing '\\r' character is treated as part of the interpreter path, leading to a file not found error.
