Introduction
A docker image based on Alpine Linux with the S6 Overlay that redirects /dev/log to stdout & stderr for docker happiness!
What is Alpine Linux?
Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency. Alpine Linux prides itself on being small, simple and secure.
What is the s6-overlay?
The s6-overlay project is a series of init scripts and utilities to ease creating Docker images using s6 as a process supervisor. The s6-overlay makes it easy to take advantages of s6 while still operate like other Docker images. The s6 init system provides many helpful tools to initialize and manage processes as the Docker container starts.
