One way to run a script after ending a Docker container is to use the --rm flag when starting the container. This flag automatically removes the container when it exits, and you can add a command to run the script as the container exits.

For example:

docker run --rm myimage /bin/sh -c "echo 'Container is stopping'; /path/to/script.sh"

This command will start the "myimage" container, and when it exits, it will print "Container is stopping" and run the script located at "/path/to/script.sh".

Alternatively, you can use a Docker Compose file to define the container and configure it to run a script when it exits. In the Compose file, you can define the command to run when the container exits using the "command" field:

version: '3'
services:
  myservice:
    image: myimage
    command: /bin/sh -c "echo 'Container is stopping'; /path/to/script.sh"

This will start the "myservice" service using the "myimage" image, and when the container exits, it will run the script located at "/path/to/script.sh".
