Actually it is easier to make systemd work well under Docker than sysvinit, and it doesn't require --privileged. I have a whole series of Debian Docker images that work that way; see https://github.com/jgoerzen/docker-debian-base systemd nowadays even has explicit code to help with this. I made sysvint work in the stretch and jessie days, but it was a real pain and not at all friendly. Have a look at my debian-base-minimal code for how to make it work. - John
