Running youki on Redox

[hardBSDk]

Original Title: (Question) Does it work without SELinux and systemd?

Please tell us the output when you gave it a try.

@utam0k Why? I don't see feature flags to disable them on the Cargo.toml

[utam0k]

SELinux is not used unless specified in config.json and you can use cgroupfs instead of systemd.

[utam0k]

But, I guess you'll attempt to use youki in Redox, right?

[hardBSDk]

@utam0k Exactly.

@hardBSDk This is interesting. In theory, it's possible, but I don't have an environment with Redox. Do you have a good idea for running youki on Redox on linux? I'd like to look for what are lack to run youki on Redox.

@utam0k Currently I'm researching if Docker and Podman is portable to other operating systems, AFAIK non-Linux ports aren't native and use VMs.

Redox support POSIX APIs.

[utam0k]

Do you have the API list Redox has already supported?

@utam0k Also see the following pages:

• https://doc.redox-os.org/book/how-redox-compares.html#system-calls
• https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc

For example, the open system call is called SYS_OPEN on relibc.
