Objective

Host for launching windows service for docker on windows server

Usage

runhost.exe "name of service"

Attempting to start `name of service`..
Waiting for signal (or hit `q` to quit)..

• There is no check for service name validity.
• There is no check for service startup status.
• There is no error checking or recovery.
• The purpose is to allow for handling/intercept of SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGKILL signals and return code accordingly.

In Dockerfile

ENTRYPOINT ["runhost.exe", "name of service"]

NOTE
Windows Server Containers do not support interception of SIGTERM or SIGKILL as of this version.

Where to get it

• Build it yourself (current support requires Visual Studio 2019)
• Get the nuget packages; it will install to your project directory under runhost with x64 and x86/Win32 binaries.
