Are this dumb-init work only for docker kind of environment or it will also work for real virtual machines?
It should work for virtual machines as it fulfills the requirements for PID 1.
Typically dumb-init is only used for single-purpose containers as it doesn't contain the kind of sophisticated process orchestration that you would normally want on a machine used to run multiple tasks, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. Depending on your use-case it may not be the best fit though.
@chriskuehl tnx for your response. I am trying to write a custom init script that should take care of mounting, zombies, etc. I am really confused about where to begin with. Can you help me to find a full-fledged init script that will work in VMs. It will help me to learn more.
You can use dumb-init with runit, or use runit alone.
I prefer to use dumb-init with runit.
I think, I will post again (soon) with better explanations and some examples.
