But this works already, right? Or I am misunderstanding you in some
way...
As long as you're *not* running with --pid=host, you can simply run
`systemd` in your container and have it start services normally. You
can use the `fedora/systemd-systemd` container as a base; then
installing any application is simply:
RUN yum -y install myapp anotherapp
RUN systemctl enable myapp anotherapp
And you're all set with your "big container" running multiple
services. There's no requirement to make your applications container
aware in this case.
The problem crops up when you have a use case that requires
--pid=host, in which case systemd blows up.
