• SystemD vs Runit. Just a suggestion, not fight.

  Still, I can try to give you a rundown of Runit. Essentially, it's an init system that uses init scripts, but it has a bit more structure to improve on the shortcomings of sysvinit. Much like systemd, it also does service management, although in a much less involved way. Like with sysvinit, the task of logging is left to a separate process, though it has its own logging daemon, if you wish to use it (as logging... Source: about 1 year ago

• What manages systemd?

  PID 1 is special. It's the init. Instead of System V init, you can use OpenRC, runit, systemd, s6, or others. Source: over 2 years ago

• How do I use rc.d? and service management in general for KISS

• are there any good reasons for me to avoid systemd

  Still, I applaud efforts like s6 and Dinit as competition is a good thing in general. I hope they'll continue to be improved upon until they've become viable alternatives to systemd for most users. Source: 11 months ago

• Gentoo 66 init or dinit

  You can download dinit from github https://github.com/davmac314/dinit. (also read everything about it) Do a simple make && make install which should install it to /sbin/dinit No need to remove systemd or openrc. /sbin/init should be symlinked to whatever init system you use. Read the instructions on dinits page. All the services go into /etc/dinit.d. And you can "dinitctl enable servicename" to enable it. I... Source: 11 months ago

• A discussion about the Ultimate Linux Desktop

  It got mass-adopted while being imperfect, so that's to be expected. Thankfully its inception and the criticism that followed have paved the way for the likes of dinit and s6. Source: 12 months ago

• Run a script when connection is established and ready?

  I use dinit do manage services on my home server. One of them is Caddy, that shares TLS/SSL cert state with my remote server by using Redis on said remote server. However, since this means that I need to have established a remote connection first before starting Caddy, I would like to know of a method to check if tailscale has in fact finished connecting.

• Fastest way to boot Void Linux?

  I've used a ton of improvements but I know this community knows a lot more about some parts than me. So here I come. I'm currently using efibootmgr to create an efistub to bypass grub. Using base-minimal with ncurses so terminal apps work. Also I use this in my /etc/dracut.conf.d/local.conf: Hostonly="yes" Omit_dracutmodules=" network plymouth " And that works perfectly. Don't know exactly what network or... Source: about 1 year ago
