I am deploying a MongoDB image, and I want to make a custom image so that it has some data pre-imported. When I build the image, it shows that the files have been correctly imported:

> docker build -t mongoibdn -f mongodocker/Dockerfile .
...
Step 10/11 : RUN mongod --fork --logpath /var/log/mongodb.log --dbpath /data/db &&     dockerize -wait tcp://localhost:27017 -timeout 30s &&     ./resources/import_distances.sh

The script import_distances.sh is:

#!/bin/bash

# Import our enriched airline data as the 'airlines' collection
mongoimport -d agile_data_science -c origin_dest_distances --file data/origin_dest_distances.jsonl
mongosh agile_data_science --eval 'db.origin_dest_distances.ensureIndex({Origin: 1, Dest: 1})'
mongosh agile_data_science --eval 'printjson(db.origin_dest_distances.findOne())'

However, when I deploy said image:

...
mongo:
    image: mongoibdn
    container_name: mongotainer
    networks:
      - app-tier
    restart: always
    environment:
      # MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: root
      # MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: example
      MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: agile_data_science
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    volumes:
      - data-volume:/pcreativa/data
...

And enter mongosh to see whether the data is there:

user@userr:~/path$ docker exec -it mongotainer mongosh

As you see, the db “agile_data_science” isn’t there. There has been times where the data was there, but it happens seemingly randomly.

Please help me with this as I really do not know what is causing this isuee.

I have tried to substitue the RUN with a CMD so that the import happens when the service is deployed, and not when the image is being built. This didn’t work.
