Add custom "commands" for exec/console.

[mrmachine]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
All our Docker images have entrypoint.sh as the entrypoint and this configures the environment ready to use and opens an interactive shell (if no args given, otherwise args are executed).

Every time I open a console for a container, I can choose from a list of pre-defined commands (bash, ash, sh) or click to enter a custom command, where I have to type or paste it in every time, or exec in with bash then manually execute entrypoint.sh.

This feels like unnecessary repetition.

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to add to the list of pre-defined commands I can select from in Portainer settings, and choose a default or re-order the list, would be a solid time saver.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Don't hide the custom command input field behind a button that toggles visibility, as this only makes it harder to get through.

Get rid of the list entirely and just have an input field, pre-filled with /bin/bash by default or whatever the last command I typed in there was, ready to re-exec next time.

and i try resolve this.
you can see the issues #1835

Hi, this feature with custom command is exactly what I need. In current version there are /bin/bash /bin/sh and /bin/ash. For my implementation I need "/bin/bash -l" to create login session in order to load some configs.

I need to run a custom command "/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/bash" to open a console on an emulated rasbian pi. Unfortunately no-one remembers this. Would love to customize this custom command list.

I know this is not a documented feature but you can add a list of custom commands to the default command list of Portainer by associating one ore more-l portainer.command=mycommand when starting a container:

label I think was eventually implemented as io.portainer.commands.my-command-name="mycommand"

Majority of my containers have just a limited /bin/sh rather than the default /bin/bash. Adding a -l option to each of them might be a solution, however, I would prefer an default setting in Portainer app directly - so that I do not have to switch the shell type each time.

I was now looking for this exactly!

A label to specify which console command will be the default would be amazing.
