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).
Nowhere in the linked GitHub does the author say anything about hating systemd. That is purely the submitter’s bias.
I see how the sentence structure can lead to confusion. It was indeed my intention to say that the submitter is advertising it with “hate systemd” not the author.
