Host Integration
================
You can use your Docker containers with process managers like ``upstart``,
``systemd`` and ``supervisor``.
Introduction
------------
If you want a process manager to manage your containers you will need to run
the docker daemon with the ``-r=false`` so that docker will not automatically
restart your containers when the host is restarted.
When you have finished setting up your image and are happy with your
running container, you may want to use a process manager to manage
it. When your run ``docker start -a`` docker will automatically attach
to the process and forward all signals so that the process manager can
detect when a container stops and correctly restart it.
Here are a few sample scripts for systemd and upstart to integrate with docker.
Sample Upstart Script
---------------------
In this example we've already created a container to run Redis with an id of
0a7e070b698b. To create an upstart script for our container, we create a file
named ``/etc/init/redis.conf`` and place the following into it:
.. code-block:: bash
description "Redis container"
author "Me"
start on filesystem and started docker
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
script
# Wait for docker to finish starting up first.
FILE=/var/run/docker.sock
while [ ! -e $FILE ] ; do
inotifywait -t 2 -e create $(dirname $FILE)
done
/usr/bin/docker start -a 0a7e070b698b
end script
Next, we have to configure docker so that it's run with the option ``-r=false``.
Run the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'DOCKER_OPTS=\"-r=false\"' > /etc/default/docker"
Sample systemd Script
---------------------
.. code-block:: bash
