        That seems like a lot of work for very little security. Why not just create a container? One command and you have pretty much everything, including cgroups for security.

          That's a good question... when does chrooting make more sense than containers today?

          Storage is one. Lots of people use chroot jails for storage purposes. Containers are heavier than chrooting which has effectively no impact on any resources.
