How does this compare to s6? I recently used it to setup an init system in docker containers & was wondering if nitro would be a good alternative (there's a lot of files I had to setup via s6-overlay that wasn't as intuitive as I would've hoped).

S6 is way more complex and rich. Nitro or runit would be simpler alternatives; maybe even https://github.com/krallin/tini.

Thanks! Reading some of your other comments, it seems like runit or nitro may not have been a good choice for my usecase? (I'm using dependencies between services so there is a specific order enforced & also logging for 3 different services as well).

You seem to know quite a bit about init systems - for containers in particular do you have some heuristics on which init system would work best for specific usecases?

dinit is another one with service dependency support
