Description-en: wrapper for "docker run" to handle systemd quirks
systemd-docker is a wrapper for "docker run" so that Docker containers
can be sanely run under systemd. The key thing that this wrapper does is
move the container process from the cgroups setup by Docker to the service
unit's cgroup.
.
Using this wrapper containers can be managed through systemctl or the
docker CLI and everything should just stay in sync. Additionally one can
leverage all the cgroup functionality of systemd and systemd-notify.
