What is JuNest?

An isolated GNU/Linux environment inside any generic host GNU/Linux OS and without the need to have root privileges for installing packages.

JuNest contains mainly the package managers (called pacman and a simple yaourt wrapper called yogurt) that allows to access to a wide range of packages from the Arch Linux repositories.

Although JuNest sounds similar to a virtualisation/Linux container-like system, JuNest differentiate a lot between Docker and Vagrant. In fact, the purpose of JuNest is not to build a complete isolated environment but, conversely, is the ability to run programs as they were running natively from the host OS. Almost everything is shared between host OS and the JuNest sandbox (kernel, process subtree, network, mounting, etc) and only the root filesystem gets isolated (as the programs installed in JuNest need to reside elsewhere).
