For me none of the above commands worked. I ran docker inspect <image> and got

...
"Cmd": [
  "src/service.py"
],
"Entrypoint": [
  "python"
],
...

I figured out that docker run -it --entrypoint "" <image> sh works in this case.

I have this in my Dockerfile to run java 16 (watch out for the modified java.security part)

FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk16:jre-16.0.1_9-ubi-minimal

ARG RUN_JAVA_VERSION=1.3.8
ENV LANG='en_US.UTF-8' LANGUAGE='en_US:en'
RUN microdnf install curl ca-certificates \
    && microdnf update \
    && microdnf clean all \
    && mkdir /deployments \
    && chown 1001 /deployments \
    && chmod "g+rwX" /deployments \
    && chown 1001:root /deployments \
    && curl https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/fabric8/run-java-sh/${RUN_JAVA_VERSION}/run-java-sh-${RUN_JAVA_VERSION}-sh.sh -o /deployments/run-java.sh \
    && chown 1001 /deployments/run-java.sh \
    && chmod 540 /deployments/run-java.sh \
    && echo "securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom" >> /opt/java/openjdk/conf/security/java.security
