Web on Managarm: Usability, Stability, Security
Microkernel-based OS with consistent asynchronous I/O
Managarm is an open source, community-developed, microkernel-based operating system that uses asynchronous I/O throughout the entire system, while also providing good source-level compatibility with preexisting Linux userspace software. This project aims to enhance the capabilities of Managarm as a platform for the web. We will improve its usability both on the client and server side, improve overall stability, and harden the system. In particular, the project will enable users to run Managarm on a diverse set of hardware to securely navigate the web and to host web services. Due to the stronger isolation offered by our microkernel and the fact that all I/O is asynchronous, our system will provide a compelling alternative to existing OSes in this space.
