pid1
Do signal handling and orphan reaping for Unix PID1 init processes.
This provides a Haskell library, and an executable based on that library, for initializing signal handlers, spawning and child process, and reaping orphan processes. These are the responsibilities that must be fulfilled by the initial process in a Unix system, and in particular comes up when running Docker containers.
This library/executable will automatically detect if it is run as some process
besides PID1 and, if so, use a straightforward exec
system call instead.
NOTE This package is decidedly not portable, and will not work on Windows. If you have a use case where you think it makes sense to run on Windows, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
For a discussion on why this is useful, see this repo.
Usage
pid1 [-e|--env ENV] [-u|--user USER] [-g|--group GROUP] [-w|--workdir DIR] [-t|--timeout TIMEOUT] COMMAND [ARG1 ARG2 ... ARGN]
Where:
-e
,--env
ENV
- Override environment variable from given name=value pair. Can be specified multiple times to set multiple environment variables.-u
,--user
USER
- The username the process will setuid before executing COMMAND-g
,--group
GROUP
- The group name the process will setgid before executing COMMAND-w
,--workdir
DIR
- chdir toDIR
before executing COMMAND-t
,--timeout
TIMEOUT
- timeout (in seconds) to wait for all child processes to exit
The recommended use case for this executable is to embed it in a Docker image.
Assuming you've placed it at /sbin/pid1
, the two commonly recommended usages
are:
- Override the entrypoint, either via
ENTRYPOINT
in your Dockerfile or--entrypoint
on the command line.
docker run --rm --entrypoint /sbin/pid1 fpco/pid1 ps
- Add
/sbin/pid1
to the beginning of your command.
docker run --rm --entrypoint /usr/bin/env fpco/pid1 /sbin/pid1 ps
