Description
Aegira is a lightweight, self-hosted recovery engine written in Rust. It monitors systemd services and Docker containers in real-time, auto-recovering them upon failure using 100% deterministic rules, no AI, no bloat, and no heavy monitoring infrastructure required. Built-in safety guards prevent destructive commands, while dry-run mode lets you test before auto-recovering.

Could you build this?
Partial Writing a basic process watcher is simple, but building a production-grade daemon in Rust that safely interacts with Docker sockets and systemd D-Bus without deadlock risks requires systems expertise.
What it would actually take: The system requires a Rust daemon that interfaces with the systemd D-Bus API and Docker UNIX socket events to monitor process lifecycle states and enforce configurable backoff/restart policies. The hard components are state synchronization, non-blocking asynchronous event handling under load, handling partial container crashes, and avoiding crash-loop storms or privilege escalation vulnerabilities. This demands solid Linux systems programming and infrastructure reliability experience.
