• Which do you use systemd or openrc? Why do you use what you use?

  This page and this page, both by Laurent Bercot, creator of s6. Source: about 1 year ago

• init software: What's the difference?

  Of the two I have experience with, runit is simpler and thus easier to get the hang of than s6-rc/s6. Though the s6 (not s6-rc) docs at the author's site contain a lot of info (including apologetics and rationales) that applies almost equally well to runit. Source: about 1 year ago

• Trouble with s6 services

  Using the s6-service add command I added a service called "libvertd" when I ment to put "libvirtd". Now when I run s6-db-reload it spits out a error message saying "undefined service name libvertd". But I cant remove it using s6-service remove libvertd because that just spits out a generic help message and doesn't change anything. I also couldn't find documentation on Https://skarnet.org/software/s6/ or... Source: over 1 year ago

• Alpine Linux is reducing dependencies on Busybox

  For the trivia, this is pushed by Laurent Bercot (skarnet), creator of s6, execline and many others. He's also working on implementing s6 as Alpine init and rc systems. https://skarnet.org/software/s6/ https://skarnet.com/projects/service-manager.html. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

• Monitoring Celery in Production

  We'll use Cronitor to set up alerting so that we receive a notification when queue wait times become too high. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• We migrated our back end from Vercel to Fly.io and the challenges we faced

  Looks like your usage cases should be using https://cronitor.io for cheaper money. AWS is a total rip off, unless you are some corporation with plenty of money to wast. Just go with a VPS like Herznet, DO, lino for other hosting. Installing Linux is not that difficult now days. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?

  Https://cronitor.io/ is another option here that works for me. You can set up rules like "It should run once a day and return after at least this amount of time and also return a number greater than 1" Then just use come curl calls to your scripts at start and end and you are good to go. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
