Based on solita/docker-systemd, which runs systemd. This Docker image installs python to the image to provide ansible-playbook testing. The solita/docker-systemd image solves the PID 1 zombie reaping problem in docker, and properly handles kill signals. This thomasjpfan/ubuntu-python-systemd image installs dependencies used by molecule to test ansible playbooks.

This image is meant for ansible playbook testing! Not production!
