Hi.

I am not very familiar with OpenRC. I imagine the setup procedure would be similar to setting up Ly for OpenRC. Could you take a look at something like this video and replace ly with lemurs please let me know whether that works?

You can use the ebuild from guru, he already made openrc service for lemurs

After emerge you can just rc-update add lemurs

How would you go about getting lemurs to work on devuan? Not very knowledgable in init systems and find it looks nicer than ly. Thanks

Same question for s6/66, I can't seem to figure how to start it, I wonder if I should emulate the openrc approach of starting a tty?

Late to the party. I’ve prepared init scripts for OpenRC, sysvinit and s6.

The OpenRC script is based on the one in Guru, but follows closer to OpenRC docs to use the default start and stop functions. It uses supervise-daemon to automatically restart lemurs on crashes or kills. This helps to remedy #187, since lemurs needs to be restarted after logout, at least on non-systemd init systems.

That depends on what init system you use on Devuan. The sysv script is just a (tested) shell script, that does not use any specific commands or init functions. It works, but maybe you should use logging functions specific for your init system. Obviously you can also just use the OpenRC script, if you use it. The dependencies might be specific to Gentoo however.

Yes you should do that and can use openvt for that. I could not find any upstream documentation on 66, so I wrote s6 scripts, that theoretically could work. They are untested. This will probably not help you, but I could not find any overlay with 66, so I can’t test this for you anyway. Maybe the sysv/OpenRC scripts help you to figure it out.
