s6-frontend

+ +

What is it ?

+ +

+ s6-frontend is still in development. +

+ +

+ s6-frontend is a frontend to the s6 ecosystem. It is made of +several parts: +

+ +

A set of user-friendly commands, making it easier to manage a +s6-based system for people who are used to other tools.
An independent configuration file format, +and tools that automatically analyze a configuration written in that +format and transform it into a configuration suitable for booting a +system via +s6, +s6-linux-init and +s6-rc. This should help +users who are not familiar with s6 and s6-rc directory-based configuration +but are used to, for instance, systemd unit files.
A prepackaged set of configuration files, implementing policy, +suitable for booting a large majority of Linux-based systems. This should +help distributions that want to switch to s6 but do not want to rewrite all +their init scripts in yet another format.

+ +

+ These parts are all independent from one another. But when put all together, +they implement a powerful, fast, turnkey init system that is usable on +any distribution. +

+ +
