this post coming from Fulganet is really interesting for me :
However, This will the last major change on s6opts because i'm working under a replacement of it written in C. It will provide a high-level UI to create a daemon (this UI will similate as PKGBUILD) and to simplify the managment of the files for a services (in other choosen).
So maybe people can tell what's is good or not good with S6? what's is the most difficult part to understand/using on S6 from the sys admin view or user view?
Well, if you have idea or request and so on, post here. Thanks
I'm currently working on a new version of s6opts which simplify the service supervision tree. This new version will have the advantage to earn some memory space too. worked yet on my personnal system, but i need to do some deeply test before provide it for user, you can see change on the github on dev branch if you are interested.I am running 5 systems at the moment based on sysvinit, OpenRC, Runit, and S6.
I am still a student and sometimes a confused one. But S6 makes more sense than any other, in theory.
I'd like to see how they stand up in similar tasks and how manageable they are, from a user standpoint.
A sys-admin for a massive network may have different standards, and we have be trained to think what's best for sysadmins is best for us, and it does not translate well in practice. Lazy sysadmins with knowledge gaps "may" choose systemd. I doubt they use it at home.
I think if people go through Obarun and pass on the opportunity to really understand S6 they would easily jump to something else and not really know what they missed.
