lil process
------------
lilp watches git repositories for changes, clones them when they arrive,
and then runs arbitrary commands for you after the cloning is complete.
lilp is intended to be used like a service manager that is easy to keep
everything up to date with. lilp is especially nice to use with simple scripts,
statically compiled binaries, etc. you may also use it as a build service.
all logs for your processes go to /var/log/lilp/service-name/stdout and
/var/log/lilp/service-name/stderr.
lilp is stupid, but resilient
if your process exits quickly, lilp will start it again immediately
fork bombbbbb
lilp is asking to be hacked
probably dont run lilp as root tbh
lilp provides no process isolation
lilp runs cron jobs better than cron tho
i built lilp because im extremely lazy
lilp was made to run binaries and scripts
install:
git clone https://git.j3s.sh/lilp
cd lilp && go build
mv lilp /usr/sbin/lilp
mkdir -p /etc/lilp /var/lib/lilp
cp contrib/example-config /etc/lilp/config
# systemd
cp contrib/lilp.service /etc/systemd/system/lilp.service
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl start lilp
# openrc
cp contrib/lilp.initd /etc/init.d/lilp
service lilp start
config:
definitions
clone = the git url to clone & watch. takes the ref argument.
ref = the git ref (branch or tag) to clone + watch for changes
*run = command to run (order matters) - use this to start your service / job
every = how often to run this command (use this only when the process is expected to exit)
* at least 1 "run" statement is required, everything else is optional
if you leave "clone" out, no repo will be cloned or watched
if you leave "ref" out, the default ref will be "main"
if you leave "every" out, processes will restart 1s after they exit
the config format is very strict. it goes:
process "processname"
definition "argument"
example
# /etc/lilp/config
process "gitea"
clone "https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea.git"
ref "v1.16.1"
# every "run" command is within the context of the cloned repo
run "apt -q go || apt install go"
run "go build"
run "GITEA_PORT=8086 ./gitea"
process "backup"
clone "https://git.j3s.sh/dotfiles"
ref "main"
run "apt install rsync -y" # a little wasteful but who cares tbh
run "./my-backup-script"
every "1d"
process "loldockerino"
run "docker run redis"
process "loldockerino"
run "echo hi mom"
every "1s"
