If all you need is init (and not a process supervisor), docker comes with one called 'tini' built in. All you have to do is supply `--init` to the `docker run` command. As far as a different process supervisor, I'm not sure. I've used supervisord and agree it's kind of awkward.

We've all done it. (-: For some while I read people saying that, despite the existence of Paul Jarc showing how svscan as process 1 would actually work and Gerrit Pape leading the way with runit-init and demonstrating the basic idea, one could not do full system management with daemontools and wholly eliminate van Smoorenberg init and rc. * https://code.dogmap.org/svscan-1/ * https://smarden.org/runit/ It was one... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

The problem is that systemd vs sysv-init is a false dichotomy. Systemd took over a ton of important non-init functionality, like DNS, logging, and interactive sessions. That could be fine if systemd did so in a nice and rock-solid way, but it was unpleasantly bug-ridden for years after being thrust on mainstream distros via a hard Gnome dependency. SysV-init sucks in many ways, it's well known, and I can... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
