So,

I’ve never bothered with this before, since systemD seems to work just fine.

But I did this year stop using Ubuntu for most of my hosting needs and moved to Alpine or Debian, depending on what I’m doing.

So it makes sense to optimize even more. I read up a little about why people dislike systemD. Good reasons if mainly you’re worried that it’s doing too much and is too heavy.

So what are the alternatives that work with both Alpine and Debian? What are people using? Is it relatively easy to move from systemD to whatever is your alternative?

Thanks!

    That is incus. But similar in other implementations of LXC. Docker has similar ratios, but I suspect you know this already.

    Also, I fucking hate the person that decided it wasn’t going to do search domains properly or DNS over TCP.

    That has been fixed since 3.18.

    Look, I’m not sure why you’re challenging me so hard on this, I’m not a superfan of Alpine or anything. I use it when I can because it’s really, really light on memory and so do others. There are lots of cases that don’t work with Alpine, like mongodb, sql, etc. But there are lots of great uses for alpine as well, like networking or anything that works well with busybox tooling.

    Have a better one.
