Docker.io init.d script not working on start container

Question

I\'ve a container with odoo on it on the dir \"/opt/odoo/\".

A init script on \"/etc/init.d/odoo-server\"

#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:

I found that the service not starting is because of the /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d returns a 101 code:

See: http://jpetazzo.github.io/2013/10/06/policy-rc-d-do-not-start-services-automatically/

And docker set it to return 101 in a container.

So, change that script on build will work, you can make a build.sh to run in Dockerfile and runs the below script:

cat << EOF > /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
#!/bin/sh

# For most Docker users, "apt-get install" only happens during "docker build",
# where starting services doesn't work and often fails in humorous ways. This
# prevents those failures by stopping the services from attempting to start.

# exit 101
exit 0
EOF
