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).

    Is choice a bad thing? Each one gets the features and workflow that suits that one. You put the wheels on your Linux that you like the best, I choose mine too. They all work on the same roads.

      I guess the question is how many choices do we need, can we cooperate on a couple of them?

      We already had sysvinit, busybox-init, dinit, epoch, ginitd, initng, launchd, openrc, rinit, shepherd, s6, upstart, smf, finit, BSD rc.d, and probably more.
