Simple way to reasonably run a background process in a docker container. Saves setting up s6 or similar. Uses the run-one-constantly tool from the run-one package to keep it running, and the default docker init process to propagate signals to all child processes.

If you've been wondering where I went: my team in Oxford (60 of us!) build beautiful tools for NHS data. We help researchers work on the whole nation's GP records while protecting - provably - everyone's privacy. It's big potatoes!
