Yes, everything is complicated in its particulars. That's why it's fun to learn stuff.

Thank you because, I read several article about the topics and namespaces aren't meant to persistent, also are pretty trickery and require knowledge that I miss completely.

Linux namespaces do NOT require systemd to use.

Thank you for the head-up, your suggestion landed me on this old article:

I think they had better to rename the project from SYSTEMD to SYSTEMNIH...

😂

Hi there,

I am wondering if there are available for Devuan, besides CHROOT, other technologies closer to the BSD JAILS or NSPAWN provided by Systemd, thanks! 🙏
