Description
Hello,
I need to use Windows docker image to deploy mongodb. However, it lacks mogosh binary and an entrypoint script compared to what is available for Linux.
It is an issue for the following reasons:
- Mongosh unavailability prevents the implementation of docker health check as it requires to execute a command from the container. It also prevents the execution of some useful commands such as replication enabling and data insertion.
- The entrypoint provided in the Linux image is really convenient to set up a mongodb instance. Having it in Windows would save a lot of trouble.
- Entrypoint also take care of the execution of mongo file from
/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/. It is also quite helpful.
Mongosh would really help to have a properly set up mongodb instance with docker on Windows. Do you think it could be added in Windows images, just like for Linux ?
Thanks !

Research direction
Compare the existing Linux image packaging with the Windows image definitions, focusing on the mongosh binary, docker-entrypoint script, and /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/ handling named in the issue. Done means the Windows image provides mongosh and equivalent initialization behavior, including execution of initialization files and support for container health checks.
