We use phusion baseimage, which does have an init system (runit). We have been happy with that. Our customers are not ready for us to provide our product as 6 distinct linked docker containers. The image we build is more like a VM in that it contains multiple processes (pg, nginx, and some apps/services).
- timdorr 11y agoIf you're providing an all-in-one solution like that, it sounds like you would be better served by just providing an OVF image to them. Or better yet, keep 6 distinct containers like you should, and use docker-compose to spin them up together. Makes upgrades easier because you can simply point to a newer version of whatever service containers you're using without having to take out everything. If you're using containers as a VM, you're essentially adding overhead for no good reason.
