Be aware that on some distributions such as Debian or RHEL, user namespaces are restricted by default and cannot be used like this from unprivileged user accounts. Although Debian is going to change the default with the next release. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898446 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898446

Interesting. Still, as namespaces gain more and more traction, the value of adding rootless chroot goes down.

If those distros are paranoid about the security implications of user namespaces, then they would certainly apply that reasoning to user chroot.
