Re: [atomic-devel] Has anyone considered packaging dumb-init or tini for use in Fedora/CentOS/RHEL?



typical use is a Dockerfile having

RUN curl -sSL -o /usr/local/bin/dumb-init https://github.com/Yelp/dumb-init/releases/download/v1.0.2/dumb-init_1.0.2_amd64 && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dumb-init

ENTRYPOINT ["dumb-init", "--", "/start.sh"]

yes, I use it along with oneway < https://github.com/muayyad-alsadi/oneway/releases/

simply dumb init does not thing, it's just exec a single process (the docker way which is single process per container)

so instead of start.sh we use dumb-init start.sh

it's not intended to do what sysvinit / systemd / upstart do
it just fork then exec it's argument, the parent process just handle defunct processes

it does not do any management (the dumb part of it's name)

please give it a chance, not because we need another init system, but because it's NOT an init system.
it just run a single process (look at supervisord which is in the official repo, is more close to be an init system than dumb-init)
