+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"
