mini

mini is a minimal init system. It was created mainly for educational purposes and also for the sake of reducing my laptop's boot time.

You may use it at your own risk, it is not ready for any serious use (and will probably never be :)).

Install

Clone this repo
cargo build --release
cp target/release/mini /sbin/
Create your services files if needed (using the files given in svc/ as a template) and put them in /etc/mini
Edit the kernel command line and add init=/sbin/mini

To ease development, I created a Makefile that will automatically compile and deploy latest version of mini on a QEMU VM. More details to come...
