I am trying to spin a new container and run a powershell script with in the new container. This is my docker compose file

version: “3”  
services:  
webapp:  
build: .  
image: “iis”  
command: powershell -executionpolicy bypass “C:\docker\sharedFiles\scripts\generic\_script.ps1” #tried with containerpath “C:\sharedFiles\scripts\generic\_script.ps1”  
ports:  
- “80:8000”  
networks:  
nat:  
ipv4\_address: 172.20.128.2  
volumes:  
- “C:/docker/sharedFiles:c:/sharedFiles”  
networks:  
nat:  
external: true

I am able to spin the cotnainer, but the PS script is not getting executed. What am i missing ?
