"Three processes" model #34

Open raspbeguy opened 3 years ago

raspbeguy commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I would like to discuss about the feasibility of adopting the famous "three processes" model which is used for lots of OpenBSD services.

I'm not a developper, but if I understand correctly, the benefit of this model is having three specialized processes that you can very easily restrict with pledge/unveil, while with a single thread that does everything, you have to do some compromises for it to work correctly.

Here is a skeleton example of an OpenBSD daemon for reference.

Hi @raspbeguy!

Thank you for the suggestion! I think it's a great idea. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for improvements these days, but when I do, I'll try to get around to it. 😃

P.S. Sorry about the delay! I'm on GitHub everyday and still it feels like sometimes I don't get notifications.
