Why Tini?
---------
Using Tini has several benefits:
- It protects you from software that accidentally creates zombie processes,
which can (over time!) starve your entire system for PIDs (and make it
unusable).
- It ensures that the *default signal handlers* work for the software you run
in your Docker image. For example, with Tini, `SIGTERM` properly terminates
your process even if you didn't explicitly install a signal handler for it.
- It does so completely transparently! Docker images that work without Tini
will work with Tini without any changes.
If you'd like more detail on why this is useful, review this issue discussion:
