My setup for each project:
  • debootstrap --variant=minbase to create a minimal debian base os in a directory
  • systemd-nspawn to chroot into debian base
  • A bash init script to install stuff, apt install. Put script in git
Pros: lightweight, I run full gui apps/web servers/dbs in there, everything is in a folder, can just delete it all and reinstall easily, no docker/kubernetes complexity
Cons: systemd-nspawn so no Mac support which is like 80% of Devs
I've been using Linux (specially Debian) for a long time and never heard of debootstrap and systemd-nspawn before. By the Pros you listed it looks like something I'd love to incorporate in my toolbox.
Do you mind sharing an example repository with configurations and scripts you use só I can take a look on how you manage things?
