Hi, what should the ENTRYPOINT of my custom docker image (for executing runs in Kubernetes; not based on a prefect image) be? Right now I have it running my flow directly as described here: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/docker/#writing-a-dockerfile but I'm getting a double flow-run - the first has the same name as my Kubernetes Pod so is presumably controlled by Prefect, but it gets stuck in "Pending" and never receives any logs from the flow. The second run has a different name than the pod and works normally (though it seems to have some problems the first time it runs on a new Node, but I'll worry about that later). Should I instead have something like 
exec "$@"
as here: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/scripts/entrypoint.sh ? Apologies if the solution is obvious/in the docs somewhere.

Here's some kubectl output which may be useful:
Copy code
$ kubectl get pods
NAME                                          READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
imaginary-dragonfly-sdk6v-tbhzh               1/1     Running   0          8s
prefect-worker-7b8b975b9-jckmd                1/1     Running   0          3h47m
...

$ kubectl get pods
NAME                                          READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE

prefect-worker-7b8b975b9-jckmd                1/1     Running     0          3h47m
...

$ kubectl logs imaginary-dragonfly-sdk6v-tbhzh

I figured it out - you want no 
ENTRYPOINT
at all.
