BlueChi (formerly know as hirte) is a systemd service controller intended for multi-node environments with a predefined number of nodes and with a focus on highly regulated ecosystems such as those requiring functional safety. Potential use cases can be found in domains such as transportation, where services need to be controlled across different edge devices and where traditional orchestration tools are not compliant with regulatory requirements.
BlueChi is relying on systemd and its D-Bus API, which it extends for multi-node use case.
BlueChi can also be used to control systemd services for containerized applications using Podman and its ability to generate systemd service configuration to run a container via quadlet.
RPM packages for the BlueChi project are available on bluechi-snapshot COPR repo. To install BlueChi packages on your system please add that repo using:
dnf copr enable @centos-automotive-sig/bluechi-snapshot
When done you can install relevant BlueChi packages using:
dnf install bluechi bluechi-agent bluechi-ctl
