# Automatically Start Containers
|
|
|
|
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 can then attach a process manager to manage it.
|
|
When your run `docker start -a` docker will automatically attach to the
|
|
running container, or start it if needed 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
|
|
`--name redis_server`. To create an upstart script for our container, we
|
|
create a file named `/etc/init/redis.conf` and place the following into
|
|
it:
|
|
|
|
description "Redis container"
|
|
author "Me"
|
|
start on filesystem and started docker
|
|
stop on runlevel [!2345]
|
|
respawn
|
|
script
|
|
/usr/bin/docker start -a redis_server
|
|
end script
|
|
|
|
Next, we have to configure docker so that it's run with the option
|
|
`-r=false`. Run the following command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'DOCKER_OPTS=\"-r=false\"' >> /etc/default/docker"
|
|
|
|
## Sample systemd Script
|
|
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=Redis container
|
|
Author=Me
|
|
After=docker.service
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker start -a redis_server
|
|
ExecStop=/usr/bin/docker stop -t 2 redis_server
|
|
|
|
[Install]
