---------------------------------------

             Summary: NiFi toolkit signal handling changes, Dockerfile enhancements
                 Key: NIFI-5247
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5247
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Tools and Build
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0, 1.7.0
            Reporter: Peter Wilcsinszky


1. Signal handling issues

In order for processes to handle signals properly in Docker we have to implement explicit signal handling for the first process in the container. In the case of the NiFi toolkit the easiest solution is to replace the bash shell with the Java process and let it handle the signal using the exec system call. More detailed explanation of the issue: [http://veithen.github.io/2014/11/16/sigterm-propagation.html]

Relevant issues: NIFI-3505 and NIFI-2689 that already added exec to the run invocation of the nifi.sh start script.

This changes makes stopping containers fast and graceful.

2. TLS toolkit commands and basic tooling in the container

In order to be able to request certificates from a running CA server instance some tooling is needed inside the container. These tools are openssl for checking ssl certificates and endpoints, and jq for config.json processing. A complete use case is available in the following NiFi helm chart: [https://github.com/pepov/apache-nifi-helm/blob/master/templates/statefulset.yaml#L75]
