JuNest (Jailed User Nest) is a lightweight Arch Linux based distribution that allows the creation of disposable and partially isolated GNU/Linux environments within any generic GNU/Linux host OS and without requiring root privileges to install packages.
JuNest is built around pacman, the Arch Linux package manager, which allows access to a wide range of packages from the Arch Linux repositories.
The main advantages of using JuNest include:
- Install packages without root privileges.
- Create partially isolated environments in which you can install packages without risking mishaps on production systems.
- Access a wider range of packages, particularly on GNU/Linux distros with comparatively limited repositories (such as CentOS and Red Hat).
- Run on a different architecture from the host OS via QEMU.
- Available for x86_64 and arm architectures but you can build your own image from scratch too!
- All Arch Linux lovers can enjoy their favourite distro everywhere!
