The Ultralight Stack

This wiki page is a stub for a list of tools that I can use to set up and run lightweight environments on low-end ARM devices.

Resources

Category	Date	Link	Notes
Editors	2023	Lite XL	A very fast and efficient editor written in Lua
Plugins		lite-xl-terminal	a terminal plugin for Lite XL (Windows/Linux-only)
TUI		walk	a nice terminal-based file manager
Terminals		foot	Among other things, this supports Sixel images
Web Services		Mako Server/BAS Amalgamated	A Lua-based server that uses a more conventional stack
		Rampart	This is an all-in-one server that uses its own JS engine, SQL engine, full-text search, etc. Very interesting except that it does not use `sqlite` and has some weird licensing, but seems very, very lightweight
		bun	an alternative JavaScript runtime with impressive speed, a decent set of OS primitives and first-class `sqlite` support.
		RedBean	a ZIP-embedded web server with Lua, SQLite, and MbedTLS
Window Management	2022	Sway	A minimalist tiling Wayland compositor that is a drop-in replacement for `i3`
