Using prisma in a dockerfile?

Question

I have a node express project using prisma as the ORM. I want to be able to run prisma migrate and prisma generate in the dockerfile. However these commands do not seem to work in a dockerfile. My question is - is it possible to automate prisma migrations in a dockerfile without user intervention? Thanks,

The last part of my Dockerfile is:

#CMD ["yarn", "start"] #commented out
CMD ["bin/startup.sh"]

I no longer do yarn start. Instead I call a script and inside I do the stuff I need:

# --- bin/startup.sh ---

npx prisma generate
npx prisma migrate deploy
yarn start
