Nsjail – A light-weight process isolation tool for Linux

  • This seems very similar to Bubblewrap: https://github.com/projectatomic/bubblewrap

  • How does this compare to firejail?

  • Is this what I should use if I want to intercept filesystem calls (and rewrite them, or generate on the fly the file that is about to be accessed)? Something else I should look into for this purpose?

  • Is there a minimum required kernel version? How does it compare to proot?

    We use proot in our build pipeline and it would be interesting to look into alternatives.

  • This seems to be almost exactly like systemd-nspawn other than the ability to write seccomp policies in kafel.

    Are there any other notable differences?

  • I've been using nsjail in production with good success lately. It's a solid tool.

    Thank you authors! Really appreciate your work on this project.

  • I have become conditioned by seeing so many Javascript frameworks reach the front page over the years that I parsed this as 'JsNail' on first glance.
