Here are some possible ideas:

* An "Init Container" in Kubernetes that runs before your app container
* A bash script that runs the previous steps and then starts your application
    * You would still need a way to start/restart *that* bash script, detect errors, etc.

!!! tip

From the list of deployment concepts from above, using workers would mainly help with the **replication** part, and a little bit with the **restarts**, but you still need to take care of the others:

* **Security - HTTPS**
* **Running on startup**
* ***Restarts***
* Replication (the number of processes running)
* **Memory**
* **Previous steps before starting**

## Containers and Docker

## Running on Startup and Restarts

There is normally another tool in charge of **starting and running** your container.

It could be **Docker** directly, **Docker Compose**, **Kubernetes**, a **cloud service**, etc.

In most (or all) cases, there's a simple option to enable running the container on startup and enabling restarts on failures. For example, in Docker, it's the command line option `--restart`.

This is the basic idea. But you will probably want to take care of some additional things, like:

* Security - HTTPS
* Running on startup
* Restarts
* Replication (the number of processes running)
* Memory
* Previous steps before starting

// ----------
// Supports following actions:
// - restart (restarts all the MinIO instances in a setup)
// - stop (stops all the MinIO instances in a setup)
// - freeze (freezes all incoming S3 API calls)
// - unfreeze (unfreezes previously frozen S3 API calls)
//
// This newer API now returns back status per remote peer and local regarding
// if a "restart/stop" was successful or not. Service signal now supports

    - it also sets up a UDS socket for istio-cni to send logs to this container.
    - based on config, it may run the 'repair' controller that detects pods where istio setup fails and restarts them, or created in corner cases.
    - if ambient is enabled, also runs an ambient controller, watching Pod, Namespace

- Fixed an issue where the `configmap`, `secret`, `projected`, and `downwardAPI` volume types didn't create user-visible files after a kubelet restart. This fix ensures data persistence and accessibility after restarts. ([#122807](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122807), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))
