Gokrazy – A Native Go Userland

• s6

  22 726 7.4 C

  The s6 supervision suite.

Very interesting project.

Has anyone tried it?

Apparently they have written their own init: https://gokrazy.org/userguide/process-interface/

This makes me curious. I wonder how well Gokrazy would blend with s6/s6-rc…

If anyone is curious there’s more info about those projects here:

• murex

  55 1,376 9.6 Go

  A smarter shell and scripting environment with advanced features designed for usability, safety and productivity (eg smarter DevOps tooling)

If it is any help, I've written a $SHELL in Go and have been using it as my primary shell for around 5 years now.

It's intentionally not designed to be a drop in replacement for Bash though. I saw no point replicating all of the problems with Bash when writing a new shell. So it does a lot of things different -- better in most cases -- but that does also create a learning curve too (I mean you're literally learning a new language).

• distroless

  122 17,781 9.4 Starlark

  🥑 Language focused docker images, minus the operating system.

  

If you're a fan of this approach to deploying applications and use docker, distroless [1] is a really cool project related to this. It uses debian as the base and supports cgo because it has glibc (and openssl)

• buildkit

  54 7,697 9.8 Go

  concurrent, cache-efficient, and Dockerfile-agnostic builder toolkit

  

Relatedly, there's also buildkit[1] and that entire ecosystem. I've been meaning to check out the experience of building containers using Nix, but either way it seems very interesting.

• wifi

  1 35 1.1 Go

  WiFi daemon for connecting to WiFi networks (encrypted or unencrypted) with gokrazy (by gokrazy)

  

Hello, I’m the maintainer!

You’re right about the lack of a C runtime being intentional. However, C programs can be run if you take on the task of keeping them up-to-date: https://gokrazy.org/prototyping/

Regarding WiFi, we have https://github.com/gokrazy/wifi which currently only works for unencrypted WiFi. If at some point there is a Go solution to configure encrypted WiFi, I’m all for it!
