This is cool. I'm betting hard on k8s at $dayjob, but I often think of how much less I could be happy with. A simple daemon that used some gossip/broadcast protocol to work out a list of systemd service states would be juuust enough.

Have you checked out https://www.habitat.sh/? It has a gossip-based discovery/coordination layer. I've been meaning to give it a try --- I too have Docker fatigue.

You mean exactly like CoreOS Fleet ?

> fleet is no longer actively developed or maintained by CoreOS. CoreOS instead recommends Kubernetes for cluster orchestration.

While they no want to do cluster orchestration, as a distributed systemd it can still be useful. The core functionality is there and well tested.

No longer actively maintained is a problem, but I think it still has a quite a few users.
