How to run this command without a script?

Question

Node.js

Hello everyone,

I can run the following command in my frontend project folder

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/:/var/task -u 0 node:15-alpine sh /var/task/myscript.sh

in the myscript.sh file I put

cd /var/task && npm install && npm ci

when I try to do the same but with the command
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/:/var/task -u 0 node:15-alpinealpine sh " cd /var/task && npm install && npm ci"

an error is thrown - can you tell me why and... what do you recommend, the script creates some inconvenience

for everyone,
Vadim

We call help:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/:/var/task -u 0 node:15-alpine sh --help
BusyBox v1.31.1 () multi-call binary.

Usage: sh [-/+OPTIONS] [-/+o OPT]... [-c 'SCRIPT' [ARG0 [ARGS]] / FILE [ARGS] / -s [ARGS]]

Unix shell interpreter

Thus:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/:/var/task -u 0 node:15-alpine sh -c "cd /var/task && npm install && npm ci"

And it's possible like this:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/:/var/task -u 0 --workdir="/var/task" node:15-alpine sh -c "npm install && npm ci

Or generally like this:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/:/var/task -u 0 --workdir="/var/task" node:15-alpine npm install && npm ci
