Whatever you specify as the <init>....</init> binary in the container
XML file is started when the container is created. If you only want
1 application to run, then this is straightforward. If you want to
run multiple applications either point the "init" binary to a shell
script to run the many things, or better yet use a real init system
like systemd to spawn off the things you need.
