    Try to log the stdout of your services, I dare you.

    openrc is just missing some pretty essential things. I’m not saying to copy journalctl, but at least dump stdout into some tmpfs file by default.

    To have some sane basic logging on hand if a service breaks weirdly or is misbehavingy you’d need to edit that specific service file and restart. And most of the time look up the spec of the specific service command to remove log supression.

    Unlogability alone makes openrc quite a nightmare for a lot of setups. I’ve wasted hours repeadedly that would have been 5min had I gotten the log upfront.
