Interesting. If You can have only one process on Docker, we'll have troubles; The fork is at the core of Sympa behaviour.

We use it to send emails, to tweak distribution rate based on the number of bulks, to create new fcgi processes, etc.

If the number of processes is really a problem, you'd better give up Docker for Sympa.

We have a working Ansible playbook on sympa-vommunity if you want to ease deployment.

Best regards,

David

I'm not sure that /is/ the philosophy of Docker. The philosophy is one
/workload/ per image, IME. For example, the FreeIPA Docker container -
https://www.freeipa.org/page/Docker - which runs an LDAP server, web server,
Kerberos server and other things in one container, to provide one coherent set
of functionality.
