Hello,
I'm happy to announce a new release of "nitro", a new supervisor akin
to daemontools/runit/perp/s6.
These are the main applications nitro is designed for:
- As init for a Linux or NetBSD 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 generic POSIX systems
nitro 0.5 is pretty much feature complete and now supports (relative
to the the previous release announcement):
- usage as NetBSD init
- s6-compatible readiness notification
- event-driven nitroctl which can perform multiple actions in parallel
- improved usability and robustness
- new test suite, which passes on new and old Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
