# runsvinit
|
|
|
|
If you have a Docker container that's a collection of runit-supervised daemons,
|
|
this process is suitable for use as the ENTRYPOINT.
|
|
See [the example](https://github.com/peterbourgon/runsvinit/tree/master/example).
|
|
|
|
**Why not just exec runsvdir?**
|
|
|
|
`docker stop` issues SIGTERM (or, in a future version of Docker, perhaps another custom signal)
|
|
but if runsvdir receives a signal,
|
|
it doesn't wait for its supervised processes to exit before returning.
|
|
If you don't care about graceful shutdown of your daemons, no problem, you don't need this tool.
|
|
|
|
**Why not wrap runsvdir in a simple shell script?**
|
|
|
|
This works great:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
sv_stop() {
|
|
for s in $(ls -d /etc/service/*)
|
|
do
|
|
/sbin/sv stop $s
|
|
done
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
trap "sv_stop; exit" SIGTERM
|
|
/sbin/runsvdir /etc/service &
|
|
wait
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
...except it doesn't [reap orphaned child processes](https://blog.phusion.nl/2015/01/20/docker-and-the-pid-1-zombie-reaping-problem/)
|
|
and is therefore unsuitable for being PID 1.
|
|
|
|
**Why not use my_init from [phusion/baseimage-docker](https://github.com/phusion/baseimage-docker)?**
|
|
|
|
That works great — if you're willing to add python3 to your Docker images :)
|
|
|
|
**So this is just a stripped-down my_init in Go?**
|
|
|
|
Basically, yes.
