Isn’t this something that Tini solves? Really easy to add to compose services with “init: true”

It really should be the default, I can't think of any containerized application that actually upholds the responsibilities of PID1.

Yeah I don’t disagree at all. I’ve seen so many people just put up with waiting for their containers to get SIGKILLed by the docker timeout, when they could instead use tini to forward SIGINT to trigger their graceful shutdowns. Drives me nuts haha

I think it's supposed to? I'm generally running on k8s with base images that don't include tini, so I've settled for exec-style CMD instead

Ah gotcha. I believe it can be baked into images as well, per the entrypoint example in the readme: https://github.com/krallin/tini

Not sure how this will fare IRL in k8s as I haven’t much experience there. It’s still silly that this is the default behavior where you need something like Tini, but I digress.
