Run docker command after run

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. I'm trying to install Apache Superset in a Railway container. I can do it without docker-compose, but I have to execute some docker commands once the container is up by entering into the container with "docker exec --it superset", but I don't know exactly how to do it through Railway. More info about the commands to be run here: https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/superset Is there any way to do an exec into a container running on Railway and get interactive shell? Or any way I can run this command? Thanks in advance and congratulations for your nice work.

railway doesn't provide any ssh or console access, so anything that needs to be installed or ran in the container would have to be done through a custom dockerfile or a nixpacks.toml

Thanks @Brody, extending the Dockerfile was an easy answer, sorry for that! For anyone looking for the Dockerfile content:

# Use the official Apache Superset image as a base
FROM apache/superset

# Switch to the root user to install the required packages and configurations
USER root

# Run the necessary commands to set up Apache Superset
RUN superset fab create-admin ...

# Switch back to the `superset` user for security
USER superset

# Use the official Apache Superset image as a base
FROM apache/superset

# Switch to the root user to install the required packages and configurations
USER root

# Run the necessary commands to set up Apache Superset
RUN superset fab create-admin ...

# Switch back to the `superset` user for security
USER superset

little tip, for multiline code, wrap the code in triple back ticks instead of single backticks
