GitHub - kosma/runit-docker: painlessly use Runit in Docker containers

Docker and runsvdir don't quite agree on what each signal means, causing TONS of frustration when attempting to use runsvdir as init under Docker. runit-docker is a plug'n'play adapter library which does signal translation without the overhead and nuisance of running a nanny process.

Features

  • Pressing Ctrl-C does a clean shutdown.
  • docker stop does a clean shutdown.

Under the hood, runit-docker translates SIGTERM and SIGINT to SIGHUP.

Usage

  • Build with make, install with make install.
  • Add CMD ["/usr/sbin/runit-docker"] to your Dockerfile.
  • Run debian/rules clean build binary to build a Debian package.
