Thanks for pointing that out ! So to be complete :

- my commands were indeed run towards “existing started” tryton container

- Also worked as per your suggestion :  
`docker exec --interactive --tty tryton /entrypoint.sh trytond_import_countries -d tryton`  
`docker exec --interactive --tty tryton /entrypoint.sh trytond_import_currencies -d tryton`

- docker version 20.10.2

- suggestion from a newbie : best to run the above commands (in whatever format) after [installing](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/how-to-run-tryton-using-docker/3200) Tryton and before using other functions (companies, sales, etc.)
