What is the difference between CMD and ENTRYPOINT in a Dockerfile?

Accepted Answer

In a Dockerfile, ENTRYPOINT specifies the executable that always runs, while CMD provides default arguments that can be overridden at runtime. This means that the ENTRYPOINT itself can only be overridden using the --entrypoint flag.
