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.
