lxroot
is a lightweight alternative to chroot
, Docker, and other software virtualization tools.
lxroot
allows a non-root user to quickly and easily create a "chroot-style" virtual software environment (via Linux namespaces), and then run one or more programs (a "guest userland") inside that environment.
While you can run lxroot
directly, I instead recommend that you learn to use vland
first.
vland
is a virtual userland manager. vland
is implemented as a convenience wrapper around lxroot
. vland
can automatically download, install, and configure a Linux distribution userland for use with lxroot
. Both vland
and lxroot
operate without root access.
