So, it is only natural that the very first thing we did was install a suite of tools designed specifically to manage, supervise, and run&hellip; daemons.</p> <p>It is a bit like starting a &ldquo;Car-Free&rdquo; lifestyle and then immediately buying a fleet of high-end electric scooters. Technically, the name still holds up, but you&rsquo;re still getting around on wheels. We might be &ldquo;daemonless&rdquo; on the host, but inside the container, we&rsquo;ve hired the most efficient, C-based babysitter in the business.</p>
