Running .tick script in kapacitor container?

Hello all! I have the following docker-compose file:

version: '3'
services:

  # Define an InfluxDB service
  influxdb:
    image: influxdb:latest
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /home/devops/influxdb/data:/var/lib/influxdb
      - /home/devops/influxdb/config:/etc/influxdb/
    ports:
      - "8086:8086"
      - "8082:8082"
      - "8089:8089"

  grafana:
      image: grafana/grafana:latest
      restart: always
      #volumes:
      #  - /home/devops/grafana/data:/var/lib/grafana
      #  - /home/devops/grafana/config:/etc/grafana
      links:
        - influxdb
      ports:
        - "3000:3000"
      user: "472"

  # Define a Kapacitor service
  kapacitor:
    image: kapacitor:latest
    restart: always
    environment:
      KAPACITOR_HOSTNAME: kapacitor
      KAPACITOR_INFLUXDB_0_URLS_0: http://influxdb:8086
    volumes:
      - /home/devops/kapacitor/data/:/var/lib/kapacitor/
      - /home/devops/kapacitor/config/:/etc/kapacitor/
    links:
      - influxdb
    ports:
      - "9092:9092"
    # Look into cmd option
    # command: ['']
    # How to copy .tick script to this container from host ? /devops/tick_script

How can I kick off my .tick script inside my kapacitor container, with the .tick script being on the host machine?

We have started the container and then moved into it to use the cli to load the tick script into kapacitor.

Since we provided a Volume for the path /var/lib/kapacitor we are able to restart the kapacitor container with all previous defined tasks etc.

If you want to automatically load each tick script at startup within a specific location, than you have to write your own entrypoint script.
