painlessly use Runit in Docker containers

runit-docker

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.
