Run the binary as PID 1

[palm86]

When starting the application with the binary in a container, the application does not run as PID 1, instead PID 1 is bin/sh:

Running ps ax in the container gives something like this:

    1 root      0:00  /bin/sh /root/.cache/bakeware/EDFA78004B57A028C6C7719538C380A8B3999ED9/start
   11 root      0:07 /root/.cache/bakeware/EDFA78004B57A028C6C7719538C380A8B3999ED9/erts-11.1.3/bin/beam.smp -- -root /root/.cache/bakeware/

Which means that SIGTERM never gets forwarded to the application, but dies with sh. That is bad for graceful shutdown. Would it be possible to use exec instead?

I think that you're right that it would be possible to use exec in the start script.

Just as a note, none of us have time to maintain Bakeware and haven't found anyone to take over. We've been pointing people to https://github.com/burrito-elixir/burrito as an alternative since it's maintained.
