Goal

[thetredev]

The goal of this project will be the following:

• use sinit as bootstrapper init system which calls /bin/rc.init, and /bin/rc.shutdown when the respective signal is received
• /bin/rc* will be symlinks to /bin/sinitc
  • "real" init system written in Rust: maps argv[0] to calls to init(), and shutdown()
  • services are configured via TOML files in /etc/sinitc/<service name>
  • aimed at simple and fast dependency resolution: easier than something like systemd because the only things we care about are applications running inside a container which comes preconfigured by the container runtime anyway

Ultimately I want to be able to run dockerd inside the container and be able to have it running inside GitLab CI/CD jobs without requiring the container to run as privileged and without relying on the GitLab CI/CD serivces feature (at first).

Things have changed. tini is a much better fit for init. Gotta figure out how to act on SIGTERM from Rust now..
