Tini is a tiny but valid init for containers. 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.
|
|
|
|
Using Tini has several benefits:
|
|
|
|
- It protects you from software that accidentally creates zombie
|
|
processes, which can (over time!) starve your entire system for PIDs
|
|
(and make it unusable).
|
|
- It ensures that the default signal handlers work for the software you
|
|
run in your Docker image. For example, with Tini, SIGTERM properly
|
|
terminates your process even if you didn't explicitly install a signal
|
|
handler for it.
|
|
- It does so completely transparently! Docker images that work without
|
|
Tini will work with Tini without any changes.
