It uses the same underlying technologies as containers but removes much of the isolation they inherently provide while preserving filesystem separation.\n\nThis approach is generally preferred in high-performance environments or virtualized environments where portability and reproducibility is important, but extra isolation is not warranted.\n\nEnroot is also similar to other tools like `proot(1)` or `fakeroot(1)` but instead relies on more recent features from the Linux kernel (i.e. user and mount namespaces), and provides facilities to import well known container image formats (e.g. [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)).\n\nUsage example:\n\n```sh\n# Import and start an Ubuntu image from DockerHub\n$ enroot import docker://ubuntu\n$ enroot create ubuntu.sqsh\n$ enroot start ubuntu\n```\n\n## Key Concepts\n\n* Adheres to the [KISS principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) and [Unix philosophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy)\n* Standalone (no daemon)\n* Fully unprivileged and multi-user capable (no setuid binary, cgroup inheritance, per-user configuration/container store...)\n* Easy to use (simple image format, scriptable, root remapping...)\n* Little to no isolation (no performance overhead, simplifies HPC deployements)\n* Entirely composable and extensible (system-wide and user-specific configurations)\n* Fast Docker image import (3x to 5x speedup on large images)\n* Built-in GPU support with [libnvidia-container](https://github.com/nvidia/libnvidia-container)\n* Facilitate collaboration and development workflows (bundles, in-memory containers...)\n\n## Documentation\n\n1.
