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.
