Hate Systemd? A New Init System(Nitro) Debuts as a Minimalist Process Supervisor for Linux (github.com)

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).
