+## Custom commands/scripts
+
+To execute commands in the Wazuh manager container after configuration is placed but _before_ the
+Wazuh API and manager are started, pass the commands as the docker commands/arguments:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it --rm wazuh/wazuh:latest "echo 'hello world'" "uname -m" "ls /var/ossec"
+```
+
+A more real-world example:
+
+```sh
+docker run -it --rm wazuh/wazuh:latest "/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control enable debug"
+```
