Fixed Dinit working with Cgroups, Turnstile work, Pipewire now runs through Dinit user services. There are still small problems, but they run into the lack of Dinit support in Devuan.

Hi, here"s how runing Pipewire in MX:

/usr/bin/pipewire-start

#!/bin/bash

configfile="$HOME/.config/Devuan/pipewire-start.conf"
if [ ! -e "$configfile" ]; then
	echo "#delay wireplumber session manager to give pipewire time to settle before launch" > "$configfile"
	echo "wireplumber_delay=2" >> "$configfile"
fi

source "$configfile"

#start them up
echo "starting pipewire"
#kill existing servers per user
if [ -n "$(pgrep -x -u $USER pipewire)" ]; then
	pkill -x -u $USER pipewire
fi
if [ -n "$(pgrep -x -u $USER pipewire-pulse)" ]; then
	pkill -x -u $USER pipewire-pulse
fi
if [ -n "$(pgrep -x -u $USER wireplumber)" ]; then
    pkill -u $USER wireplumber
fi
#start up new servers
/usr/bin/pipewire 2>/dev/null &
/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &
#ignore config file value if not a postive non-zero number
check=$(echo "$wireplumber_delay>0" | bc -l)
if [ $check == 1 ]; then
	echo "delay wireplumber server start $wireplumber_delay seconds"
	echo "configurable in $configfile"
	sleep $wireplumber_delay
fi
/usr/bin/wireplumber 2>/dev/null &

exit 0

/usr/bin/wireplumber-start

#!/bin/bash
#try to start wireplumber all the time
if [ -z "$(pgrep -x -u $USER wireplumber)" ]; then
    echo "start wireplumber"
	/usr/bin/wireplumber &
fi

exit 0

/etc/xdg/autostart/pipewire-start.desktop

To create the ISO I used MX-Snapshot (it is in the system). I removed debootstrap from the ISO, but you can install it in the live boot and then install the system with debootstrap.
The system has the best GUI installer - Gazelle-installer for installing the system.

Sorry. I don"t use a Network-manager. Using Dhcpcd. You can do:
ip link
ip link set eth0 up

Now I"ll do it with Network-manager....

Added Network-manager to ISO.

This is my MX_Devuan with Plasma 6.5 and Dinit. For experiments.

I did not check the work on other configurations.

I"m using MX25 Linux. I moved it to the Devuan 6 base to remove completely systemd. Dinit + Sysvinit initialization system is installed. Dinit is more convenient.
