Help Wanted: Correct syntax for podman run --entrypoint

[MagicTrevor]

I am attempting to use --entrypoint= with podman run to run a binary file and pass it a path. From what I can find I should be doing it like this: --entrypoint=["path/to/my/binary", "/path/to/file"], however this returns Error: executable file '[/path/to/my/binary,/path/to/file]' not found in $PATH: no such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found.

Is there something special in regards to being a rootless container compared to the Docker equivalent?

Have you tried quoting the entrypoint - --entrypoint='["/part/one", "/part/two"]'

The entrypoint itself is interpreted as a JSON array first, and if that fails to decode, we treat it as a literal path on the filesystem; it seems here that the JSON decoding is failing, though that seems like valid JSON.

Quoting the array seems to work. Thanks!

You were seeing a BASH failure. Bash was interpreting the ["path/to/my/binary", "/path/to/file"].

Oh okay, the syntax I was using was based on what I found online so I assumed it would work.
