Creating DynamodDB table on start of the localstack

Using Localstack with Dynamodb and need to create some tables by default on the start. However, I am getting the strange error that:

/docker-entrypoint-initaws.d/init.sh: is a directory

docker-compose config:

localstack:
    container_name: localstack
    image: localstack/localstack:latest
    network_mode: bridge
    ports:
      - "4566:4566"
      - "8010:8010"
    environment:
      - EDGE_PORT=8010
      - SERVICES=s3,dynamodb
      - DEBUG=1
      - DATA_DIR=/tmp/localstack/data
    volumes:
      - "$PWD/.localstack/init.sh:/docker-entrypoint-initaws.d/init.sh"

and the init.sh looks like:

awslocal dynamodb create-table \
   --table-name table-global \
   --attribute-definitions AttributeName=id,AttributeType=S \
   --key-schema AttributeName=id,KeyType=HASH \
   --provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityUnits=5,WriteCapacityUnits=5

My stack:

• OS: MacOS Ventura
• Docker: v4.16.2

I have tried multiple options but it still does not work. I am not sure what I might be doing wrong.

I fixed your issue by changing your docker-compose.yml to:

version: "3.8"

services:
  localstack:
    container_name: "${LOCALSTACK_DOCKER_NAME-localstack_main}"
    image: localstack/localstack
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:4566:4566"
    environment:
      - DEBUG=1
      - DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
    volumes:
      - "$PWD/init-aws.sh:/etc/localstack/init/ready.d/init-aws.sh"  # ready hook
      - "${LOCALSTACK_VOLUME_DIR:-./volume}:/var/lib/localstack"
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"

The init-aws.sh looks like:

#!/bin/bash
awslocal dynamodb create-table \
   --table-name table-global \
   --attribute-definitions AttributeName=id,AttributeType=S \
   --key-schema AttributeName=id,KeyType=HASH \
   --provisioned-throughput ReadCapacityUnits=5,WriteCapacityUnits=5

Make sure to run chmod +x init-aws.sh on the file first.

I can validate this via the following command:

$ awslocal dynamodb list-tables
{
    "TableNames": [
        "table-global"
    ]
}
