About:

 ruri is pronounced as luli, or you can call it 瑠璃 in Chinese or Japanese as well.
 ruri is acronym to Lightweight, User-friendly Linux-container Implementation. It's designed to provide better security for Linux containers on devices that do not support docker.

• Simple:
  The basic usage is very very simple, you can use it just like the command chroot.
• Secure:
  Ruri focus on security, with many protections.
• Run Everywhere:
  The binary is very small, only about 1M, and you can also use upx to make it less than 500k, so it can be run anywhere even if the storage is tight.

Quick start(with rootfstool):

Download and unpack a rootfs:

git clone https://github.com/Moe-hacker/rootfstool
cd rootfstool
./rootfstool download -d alpine -v edge
mkdir /tmp/alpine
sudo tar -xvf rootfs.tar.xz -C /tmp/alpine

Then:

sudo ruri /tmp/alpine

For unshare container:

sudo ruri -u /tmp/alpine

Very simple as you can see.
For command line examples, please see ruri -H.

Example Usage:

# Run chroot container:
  sudo ruri /tmp/alpine
# Very simple as you can see.
# About the capabilities:
# Run privileged chroot container:
  sudo ruri -p /tmp/alpine
# If you want to run privileged chroot container,
# but you don't want to give the container cap_sys_chroot privileges:
  sudo ruri -p -d cap_sys_chroot /tmp/alpine
# If you want to run chroot container with common privileges,
# but you want cap_sys_admin to be kept:
  sudo ruri -k cap_sys_admin /tmp/alpine
# About unshare:
# Unshare container's capability options are same with chroot.
# Run unshare container:
  sudo ruri -u /tmp/alpine
# Umount the container:
  sudo ruri -U /tmp/alpine
