> Docker chooses to run containers without an init. The big problem here is most if not all apps you want to run in a container are not designed to work in an init less environment and require daemons, services, logging, cron and when run beyond a single host, ssh and agents.

Do this not confuse init with a process supervisor?

A process supervisor (foreman, monit, etc. ) is just one of the things an init system starts. The set of items you want to ensure are always running isn't usually the same as the set of items you want to start with the system.
