Running Systemd-Nspawn Containers

1. systemd

   1 562 14,007 10.0 C

   The systemd System and Service Manager

   

   It looks like systemd-nspawn is gaining rootless support, see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/30239

   Until then, I'm not sure if there is anything lightweight. If you don't need lightweight, there is Podman.

2. InfluxDB

   influxdata.com featured

   InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

   

3. nomad-driver-nspawn

   2 2 55 3.6 Go

   A Nomad task driver for systemd-nspawn

   

   Surprisingly simple and low footprint solution. Genuinely pleasant to work with.

4. proot-docker

   3 3 9 3.2

   Run docker containers using proot

   

   I discovered a similar project to run Docker containers as user without being root:

   https://github.com/mtseet/proot-docker

5. proot-distro

   4 40 2,201 9.2 Shell

   An utility for managing installations of the Linux distributions in Termux.

   

   Linux user namespaces can be used to create containers without having root access, see ex. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/66084/simulate-chro...

   There's also https://github.com/termux/proot-distro which may or may not count as containers depending on how you define the word but I think it does count
