I can't comment on LXC or containers in general, but I will say that I |
| 9 |
think that namespaces (which is largely what I think containers are) |
| 10 |
could do this. |

I'd suggest a mount, UTS, and possibly user namespace. The mount |
| 13 |
namespace will allow you to have a different mount tree inside of the |
| 14 |
""container / chroot / et al. The UTS [1] namespace will allow you to |
| 15 |
have a different hostname inside of the.... The user namespace will |
| 16 |
allow you to have different user IDs and group IDs inside of the.... |

I would think that containers could be made to do this. But I'm not a |
| 19 |
fan of the containerization systems that I've seen. They seem to be too |
| 20 |
large and try to control too many things and impose too many |
| 21 |
limitations. Especially when I just want something similar to a chroot |
| 22 |
/ Solaris Zone. I've always been able to get namespaces to do what I |
| 23 |
want with little problem. |
