Installer scripts for s6-overlay.
A container image distribution of the s6-overlay can be found here.
The installer will automatically detect the architecture using uname -m of the container and download the appropriate archive.

ENTRYPOINT [ "/init" ]If you are not planning to use CMD instruction to run your application and instead uses the s6 supervised service. You might find it useful to add this in place of your CMD instruction.
CMD [ "sleep", "infinity" ]You probably might also want to set S6_BEHAVIOUR_IF_STAGE2_FAILS=2, the S6_BEHAVIOUR_IF_STAGE2_FAILS use to determines what the container should do if one of the service scripts fails. In this case since we are not using CMD instruction, the service will keep on restarting if it failed but the container will continue to keep running as like nothing happends.
By setting the S6_BEHAVIOUR_IF_STAGE2_FAILS=2, we instruction the supervisor to stop the container if any of the service failed. Combined it with Docker restart-policy the container will act like it used to be.
Available installers:
This installer will install all default binaries and symlinks.

If you are running daemons that cannot log to stderr to take advantage of the s6 logging infrastructure, but hardcode the use of the old syslog() mechanism, you can extract this tarball, and your container will run a lightweight emulation of a syslogd daemon, so your syslog logs will be caught and stored to disk.
