Description: Admin scripts for running overlay subhosts
Overlay subhosting that uses unshare and chroot for running services
within independent overlay filesystems, with a common kernel but
independent namespaces. Aka "containerization with a modicum of bells
and whistles".
.
This is a lightweight container alternative that supports the full
range of use cases. It includes for example, "safe" trialling of
software over an existing filesystem without "polluting" that
filesystem (and without copying it). And, an overlay-boot setup might
be made as a full foreign architecture sub-hosting. The framework is
entirely in shell script form which is both fully transparent and
easily modifiable.
