How to get /etc/profile to run automatically in Alpine / Docker

Question

How can I get /etc/profile to run automatically when starting an Alpine Docker container interactively? I have added some aliases to an aliases.sh

Answer 1

As mentioned by Jinesh before, the default shell in Alpine Linux is ash

localhost:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/ash
localhost:~$ 

Therefore simple solution is too add your aliases in .profile. In this case, I put all my aliases in ~/.ash_aliases

localhost:~$ cat .profile 
# ~/.profile

# Alias
if [ -f ~/.ash_aliases ]; then
    . ~/.ash_aliases
fi

localhost:~$ 

.ash_aliases file

localhost:~$ cat .ash_aliases
alias a=alias
alias c=clear
alias f=file
alias g=grep
alias l='ls -lh'
localhost:~$

And it works :)
