Hi all...
Has anyone used chroot (or any other tools) to create highly isolated
'sandboxes' that can be used provide reproducible envionments? This is not
for security purposes. The goal is to make sure that we're very explicit
about which versions of which tools we make available in the sandbox so
we're absolutely sure we're running with what we think we're running with.
I'm thinking I could create a set of scripts that would set up the
directories, install any appropriate software we need, and then set up the
user account so it would 'live' inside the chroot jail/sandbox.
Usually, I would handle this problem by simply Jumpstarting the machines,
but unfortunately, that's not an option in this case - I'm at a client
site, and these aren't my machines, and some of the machines are shared
among multiple projects anyway.
I couldn't find any references to this online anywhere. Any suggestions,
warnings, pointers, or success stories, appreciated.
Thanks
-Dan
