tiny but flexible init system and process supervisor - leahneukirchen/nitro

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/36342010

Nitro is a tiny process supervisor that also can be used as pid 1 on Linux.

There are four main applications it is designed for:

  • As init for a Linux machine for embedded, desktop or server purposes
  • As init for a Linux initramfs
  • As init for a Linux container (Docker/Podman/LXC/Kubernetes)
  • As unprivileged supervision daemon on POSIX systems

Nitro is configured by a directory of scripts, defaulting to /etc/nitro (or the first command line argument).

    No, but the weirdos who insist on spelling it “SystemD” always seem to hate systemd.

    systemd is pretty great. I tend to start long-running processes as user services, and I’ve even taken to starting some apps that give an old laptop trouble with systemd-run and a slice with some memory restrictions. Easy peasy, works great, all declarative, no wibbly-wobbly shell scripts involved.

        @Pro @syklemil I don’t get it either. I tried asking around in the past and it seems to come from a hate for Lennart, which gets hated for creating systemd… Something like that. It didn’t really make sense. I’m interested in newer alternatives of course but I personally use systemd all the time since 2016 at least and I don’t see any problems with it
