Apps

Set the start command

Replace the command the container starts with, or send null to go back to the template’s.

Exec form, the same as Docker’s own Cmd: ["node", "index.js"]. Each element is one argument and nothing is passed through a shell, so shell features need a shell asked for by name — ["bash", "-lc", "npm ci && node ."].

Only templates that leave the command to you accept this. A database or a game server is started by its image in a way the image owns — its ports, its config files and its backups all assume that entrypoint ran — so those refuse with COMMAND_MANAGED rather than accepting a value they would ignore. Runtime templates (Node, Python, Java, Go and the rest) are the ones this exists for.

Takes effect on the next start. The command is baked into the container when it is created, so a running app keeps the one it was created with — restart it to apply.
