Zucca , to linux in Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux

I would say “finally”, but I’ve given up already.

I don’t see systems booting with systemd in any near future of any dimension. Instead I now run “terribly slow” OpenRC on my systems. Poor me.

While I do appreciate the effort, I cannot understand, who in their right mind would use musl and systemd together. For what purpose? If a person was already willing to manage a musl system, why wouldn’t he also prefer sysVinit or runit or whatever?

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

khorovodoved ,

It boots faster than openRC (which is painfully slow). But runit is a lot faster than systemd, and there are init systems even faster than runit. And they all already work with musl. There is even dinit system specifically designed for containers.

I want to try alpine out but the lack of systemd support is a blocker since I don’t want to add openrc support to all my Ansible playbooks that rely on systemd services and timers

What is the aim of this project? Is there a reason why we want to port systemd to distributions which do not want to use glibc?

For all the cases where musk might have advantages.

I like that musl helps build smaller containers. And sometimes I need systemd in a container.

khorovodoved ,

Systemd bloats the container a lot more than glibc.

markstos ,

If I need systemd for a specific use, like testing systemd services, that’s essential, not bloat.

Very very nice work. Thanks for your effort and willingness to experiment with new stuff. i would definitely be interested in trying it out once it reaches “production”.

aport , to linux in Porting systemd to musl libc-powered Linux

This is awesome work, I’m happy to see systemd on musl getting more attention. Poor Khem was doing it all by himself for years.
