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 am a linux noob but all the noobs support rust
Everyone should support rust. It’s a good idea. It prevents an entire class of vulnerabilities. But the old guard says “just stop making mistakes and C is fine” which is an incredibly dumb thing to say but here we are.
Rust is encroaching on their territory and they don’t want to learn the new thing, and newbs don’t see many compelling reasons to learn the old thing, so they are fighting eachother.
