If you're just looking for init and service management, the S6 system (and its wrapper 66suite) are pretty good. It's the only alternative that seems to match Systemd for feeling like a modern tool in my opinion, rather than a relic of the old days.
- generalizations 3y agoBeen watching that for a couple years now. At one point there were plans to integrate with alpine Linux, but it wasn’t ready yet. Has there been progress towards that?
- awilfox 3y agoYes, there is some progress it seems: https://skarnet.com/projects/service-manager.html https://skarnet.com/projects/service-manager.html
- throwaway7356 3y agoDon't want s6 as it brings with it a binary configuration database (Windows registry). systemd at least has text files for config.
- egberts1 3y agoMy sole resistance to s6, binary config AND default-all privilege for spawned daemon. Better to stick with INI v1.4 format. https://cloanto.com/specs/ini/#escapesequences https://cloanto.com/specs/ini/#escapesequences
- yencabulator 3y agoSorry, where's the binary configuration database in S6? The config looked like a collection of directories with scripts to run to start things. EDIT: Ah, you might mean https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/s6-rc-compile.html https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/s6-rc-compile.html -- that indeed is getting to be weirdly complex.
