Hi,

I am in the process of replacing my Ubuntu images with Alpine, I am currently using runit like this on Ubuntu:

RUN apt-get install -y runit
CMD /usr/sbin/runsvdir-start

Trying this on Alpine

RUN apk add --no-cache runit
CMD /usr/sbin/runsvdir-start

But getting this error when I start the container

/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/runsvdir-start: not found

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Question from the docker side: Why do you use runit to start your process inside docker? ENTRYPOINT and CMD are the proper way to start a process inside the container.
