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).
I got used typing “sudo service --status-all”
then got used to typing “sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type=service”
now a new one to learn “sudo nitroctl list”
looks simpler
That can only be a good thing for my gnarly arthritis fingers.
PoetteringD commands are too damn long
Also automatic paging can go fuck itself
