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).

    There are a lot of command-line tools for text, like grep and sed, that don’t work on binary files. Whether this matters to you depends on your workflow. (I use grep a lot.)

      Just journalctl | grep and you’re good to go. The binary log files contain a lot of metadata per message that makes it easy to do more advanced filtering without breaking existing log file parsers.
