ENTRYPOINT vs CMD

See original GitHub issue

Shouldn’t dumb-init be used as ENTRYPOINT instead of CMD?

As I understand, default entrypoint for docker container is /bin/sh -c. If you prefix your app myapp with dumb-init in CMD, what would be actually ran is sh -c "dumb-init myapp", so PID1 would be still sh -c, not dumb-init.

I’m using it as the ENTRYPOINT and liking it much better. Because I usually override the command in docker-compose.yml for development, and remembering to add dumb-init everywhere is cumbersome.
