I followed the instructions in https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/ to install 4.2 server on a Debian Docker image using this dockerfile: https://github.com/p-mongo/tests/blob/master/server-docker/Dockerfile
The server installed successfully, however I am not seeing how to start it.
The instructions at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/ provide two alternatives: systemd and sysv init.
Since the Docker environment does not have systemd as pid 1 (my pid 1 is bash), I was not successful in following the systemd route:

The sysv init route does not work either:
root@c501a52f1929:/# service mongod start mongod: unrecognized service
According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/53165539/11093943, the sysv init route requires a sysv init script which the current Debian package does not provide:
root@c501a52f1929:/# dpkg -L mongodb-org-server /. /etc /etc/mongod.conf /lib /lib/systemd /lib/systemd/system /lib/systemd/system/mongod.service /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/mongod /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server/LICENSE-Community.txt.gz /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server/MPL-2.gz /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server/README /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.gotools.gz /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.gz /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/mongodb-org-server/copyright /usr/share/lintian /usr/share/lintian/overrides /usr/share/lintian/overrides/mongodb-org-server /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man1/mongod.1.gz
If this SO post is correct, the sysv init instructions at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/ are actually unusable because the package does not provide the corresponding init script.
Am I missing how to start the server in a Docker container?
