Hmm, thought for sure I'd searched your exactly quote, but I apologize that I missed it. It seems the author of the article in question replied to my comment as well, and it's worth noting because his intent is (more or less) what I got out of reading the post [1]. I don't find it misleading. I think your point of contention may therefore be with the interchange between application and process as synonyms throughout the post. By implication, I took it to mean application in the context of a single cohesive unit (maybe not just simply a process, though it can be) that is run via a supervisor or alone. (That said, using LXC directly is something of an exercise in frustration as the CLI tools are a bit... kludgy--Docker is far more polished.) > You can put sshd in your docker container, you can run init scripts. I seem to recall that running sshd from a Docker instance isn't exactly the intended use case of Docker [2] and is generally frowned upon.

Hi Zancarius, my apologies, I mistakenly replied to you when it was intended for neilellis. Imho if your use case is not statelessness and you need a container as a lightweight VM, LXC tools are actually quite simple and easy to use. Nielellis - I am sorry you feel the article is misleading. It describes the default behavior. The default Docker template has limitations, that the user should be aware or you get questions like this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21280174/docker-centos-image-can-not-auto-start-httpd http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21280174/docker-centos-im... I would suggest you have a look at rationale for Phusion base image here - http://phusion.github.io/baseimage-docker/ http://phusion.github.io/baseimage-docker/ Docker base template is not a multi process multi app environment, it executes the application specified on the docker command line and exits. Which is why you can't run apps in daemon mode and have to explicitly disabled, and need a separate process manager.
