NAME

xbps-uunshare — XBPS utility to chroot and bind mount with Linux user namespaces

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The xbps-uunshare utility allows users to chroot and bind mount required pseudo-filesystems (/dev, /proc and /sys) in the target CHROOTDIR to execute COMMAND.

The xbps-uunshare utility uses by default Linux namespaces to isolate IPC, PIDs and mounts to the calling process. Thanks to user_namespaces(7) the user does not need any privilege to create an isolated lightweight container.

OPTIONS

-b src:dest

Bind mounts src into CHROOTDIR/dest. This option may be specified multiple times. Please note that both src and dest must be absolute paths and must exist.

--

Stop interpreting following arguments as options. This option is useful if some of ARGS are options passed to COMMAND.

NOTES

The xbps-uunshare utility uses Linux specific features (namespaces) and it's not meant to be portable to other Operating Systems. The following kernel options must be enabled:
