Error Could not find init script for puppet - Puppet error

Question

I'm trying to install puppet agent in docker.

I've executed this

wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet5-release-xenial.deb
dpkg -i puppet5-release-xenial.deb
apt update
apt-get install puppet-agent
/opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet resource service puppet ensure=running enable=true

I get the following error:

Error: Could not find init script for 'puppet'
Error: /Service[puppet]/ensure: change from 'stopped' to 'running' failed: Could not find init script for 'puppet'
service { 'puppet':
  ensure => 'stopped',
  enable => 'false',
}

You need to be running your processes via an entrypoint or command option. systemd and other init processes are not installed by design. Basically, you should be running these commands through the container.

You are running it through the Bootstrap applications or maybe wrapper if I'm not wrong.
