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).

    Every Linux user actually hates SystemD, but we pretend to like it to show superiority over other Operating Systems.

      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.

      I like it. Good logging easier to write and trouble shoot start up scripts.
