sandboxing for Homebrew

Project mention: Ask HN: Process isolation alternative do Docker | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-04-13

I'm running postgres and mongodb, disk chatter induces a lot of CPU usage, and after a few ours some of my uses case jumps a few of magnitude order in lagginess.
podman relies on homebrew, which is pretty invasive, and brings all the problems of a distro. Using homebrew solely for podman would do the trick though. That said, a sand box for homebrew would be enough, and there's even an unmaintained experiment to do exactly that: https://github.com/brewdo/brewdo
