⚡ Systemg - A Lightweight Process Manager
Systemg is a simple, fast, and dependency-free process manager written in Rust.
It aims to provide a minimal alternative to systemd and other heavyweight service managers, focusing on ease of use, clarity, and performance.
🚀 Why Systemg?
Traditional process managers like systemd are complex, heavy, and introduce unnecessary dependencies.
Systemg offers a lightweight, configuration-driven solution that’s easy to set up and maintain.
✨ Features
- Declarative YAML Configuration - Define services, dependencies, and restart policies easily.
- Automatic Process Monitoring - Restart crashed services based on custom policies.
- Environment Variable Support - Load variables from
.envfiles and per-service configurations. - Minimal & Fast - Built with Rust, designed for performance and low resource usage.
- No Root Required - Unlike systemd, it doesn’t take over PID 1.
