I am trying to run a bash script (install.sh) after the container is created to run apt-get update install wget etc, but the php container fails when I try to run it.
My bash script is:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir testdir && apt-get update && apt-get install wget -y
(this file is here: ./src/install.sh)
It creates the folder correctly and the logs suggest it is trying to install wget (but never seems to finish) but the container never starts correctly.
If I remove the command: /bin/bash -c "./install.sh" line everything works correctly (but wget is not installed).
I have tried moving the command to a Dockerfile as a RUN command but it never seems to run
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks

As Hans Kilian said in the comments, docker-compose commands replace anything set by CMD or ENTRYPOINT. These commands are necessary for the container to function, and thus it never does anything more than installing wget.
You appear to be trying to run a file located under "./install.sh," which is not an absolute path. Try running the command using the absolute path of the file, as dockerfiles do not, in my experience, recognize changing directory after each command, so:
RUN cd /xyz
RUN /bin/bash -c "./install.sh"
does not have the same result as
RUN /bin/bash -c "/xyz/install.sh"
(where /xyz is the directory where install.sh is located)
Additionally, make sure the file is marked as executable with chmod when it is copied into your container.
However, if all you desire to do is create a directory and install wget, I would simply do this in the Dockerfile:
RUN mkdir testdir
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget
