- Privileged daemon (Sunil)
- Privileged daemon that runs in the background to perform actions
- Listens on a Unix socket over D-Bus for activities that need superuser permissions. No need for a sudo process. Can get rid of primary process's superuser privileges and put some systemd security sandboxing restrictions.
- No changes in the apps
- Exits when idle for 15 minutes and reawakens when any privileged command needs to be run, via systemd socket activation
- Privileged commands are slow due to things like checks for configs dropped into /etc directory. All of the modules of plinth are loaded for some commands. Performance improvements more noticeable on slower disks. Spawning sudo also adds some time.
- Can use asyncio for the daemon and eventually the server process
- Joseph working on UX issues and bugs (joseph)
- Worked on some 10 issues
