Catatonit Version String: Is this a bug?

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Please can someone explain the version string:-

$ catatonit --version
tini version 0.2.0_catatonit

It looks like some sort of bug, string error!

Can't we have something more conventional like:-

$ conmon --version
conmon version 2.1.10
commit: 09bcded8e9c49cf1ff1fda403feac5a08f22535f-dirty

I can then parse it better in my script using lastversion

No, it's intentional. Docker assumes the binary name is "tini" so in order to be a drop-in replacement we need to fake the name of the program. Otherwise docker info won't output any version information.

OK, thanks for info. I'm using Podman so I didn't know.
I'll parse out the version number from the string.
