I have an assessment in which I have to create a Docker container with CakePHP. I already have a working Docker container with CakePHP and I run the following commands for my container:
docker-compose build
docker-compose run cakephp composer install --no-interaction
docker-compose run cakephp bin/cake migrations migrate
docker-compose run cakephp bin/cake migrations seed
docker-compose up
The goal is to reduce the process down to only running the single command docker-compose up to be able to start testing the container. I'm very new to both Docker and CakePHP so I'm not sure how to do this.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

What I usually do to reduce my commands when handling Docker and Docker Compose in general is using a Makefile.
So, in your case, you could write something like:
Makefile
SUDO := $(shell groups | grep -q docker || echo sudo)
.PHONY: start
start:
$(SUDO) docker-compose build \
&& $(SUDO) docker-compose run cakephp composer install --no-interaction \
&& $(SUDO) docker-compose run cakephp bin/cake migrations migrate \
&& $(SUDO) docker-compose run cakephp bin/cake migrations seed \
&& $(SUDO) docker-compose up
All you would have to do then is putting this file in your project folder and run make start.
(The $(SUDO) part ensures that you can run this comfortably even with a user that is not in the docker group.)
To really just run docker-compose up (perhaps with --build flag), you would have to write a little script that you COPY into the Docker image (you're already doing that with COPY . $APP_HOME – provided that you put this script at where your Docker build context points to) and then use it as ENTRYPOINT.
Something like this should work for you.
entrypoint.sh:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
cakephp composer install --no-interaction
cakephp bin/cake migrations migrate
cakephp bin/cake migrations seed
exec "$@"
In your Dockerfile, you would then have to put ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/sh", "entrypoint.sh"]
