Docker init

Updated: 08 May 2023

Run an init inside a container which forwards signals and reaps processes. Configure in a Dockerfile

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk
RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
        tini \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/tini", "--"]

or docker-compose.yml

services:
  web:
    image: alpine:latest
    init: true

Tini is the simplest init you could think of. All Tini does is spawn a single child (Tini is meant to be run in a container), and wait for it to exit all the while reaping zombies and performing signal forwarding.

Dockerfile Linter – Haskell

Updated: 18 August 2023

A smarter Dockerfile linter that helps you build best practice Docker images. The linter parses the Dockerfile into an AST and performs rules on top of the AST. It stands on the shoulders of ShellCheck to lint the Bash code inside RUN instructions.

Use online at https://hadolint.github.io/hadolint

Run in a Docker container

docker run --rm -i hadolint/hadolint < Dockerfile

-e PMA_PORT=3306 \
-e PMA_USER=user \
-e PMA_PASSWORD=password \
