Description

Hi,

After slimming my image, when I try to start it up, I get the following error:

s6-mkfifo: fatal: unable to mkfifo /var/run/s6/services/s6-fdholderd/supervise/control: No such file or directory

Any suggestions on a way to resolve this?

To reproduce:

docker pull bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel
./docker-slim build bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel
docker run \                                                                                            
        -e PASSWORD=bioc \
        -p 8787:8787 \
        bioconductor/bioconductor_docker.slim
# s6-mkfifo: fatal: unable to mkfifo /var/run/s6/services/s6-fdholderd/supervise/control: No such file or directory
