Horust is a Rust-based init system for Linux, designed to be fast, simple, and secure. Unlike traditional init systems, Horust focuses on stateless configuration using TOML files and aims to bring predictability and ease of use to system boot and service management. Written with Rust’s safety guarantees, Horust provides features like dependency handling, parallel service startup, and logging, making it suitable for containers, embedded systems, or minimal Linux environments where systemd is too complex or heavy.

Features

  • Rust-based init system for safety and reliability
  • Parallel service startup for faster boot times
  • Stateless configuration using TOML files
  • Built-in dependency management between services
  • Support for environment variable injection
  • Simple logging for debugging and auditing
