Description
# alpine-slim/Dockerfile
ENTRYPOINT ["/docker-entrypoint.sh"]
EXPOSE 80
STOPSIGNAL SIGQUIT
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]
# entrypoint/docker-entrypoint.sh
if [ "$1" = "nginx" ] || [ "$1" = "nginx-debug" ]; then
# code that executes /docker-entrypoint.d/ scripts
so for a custom CMD to actually execute those scripts it has to be on the form
CMD ["foo", "/docker-entrypoint.sh", "nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]
but there is no such mention on the documentation https://hub.docker.com/_/nginx/

Research direction
