JS templates don't react to SIGTERM #273

Open
@francisdb

Description

The js templates using express are missing SIGTERM handling

Expected Behaviour

A SIGTERM on the container should stop it

Current Behaviour

Nothing happens, the shutdown times out and the container is hard killed

Which Solution Do You Recommend?

Any of the solutions documented here, I guess the first one is enough
https://expressjs.com/en/advanced/healthcheck-graceful-shutdown.html

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Build an image from one of the node templates
  2. Start a container from the image
  3. Stop the container
  4. You will see it takes a while to actually time out and shut down (it exits with 137 indicating it was killed by kill -9)

Context

This is just an observation and I suspect not handling shutdown properly can interfere with the kubernetes scheduler causing redeploys and scaling to be slower
