⁠Usage

This image is intended to be used as a base image. To to extend it, create a new Dockerfile and reference it using the FROM directive.

To make use of the init system, you should keep the provided ENTRYPOINT or use /init.sh as the first field if you want to provide a different ENTRYPOINT.

We recommend setting up any required environment variables by providing an /etc/profile.d/*.sh script and following the XY-some-name.sh naming convention, where XY is a two-digit number. Since the scripts are sourced in alphabetical order, that number can be used to control execution order.
