Rootless Alpine

This project demonstrates how to build and run rootless Linux containers from scratch using standard CLI tools and Bash.

It consists of:

1. The Script: rootless-alpine.sh - A ~400 line bash script that implements a functional container runtime (namespaces, cgroups, overlayfs, slirp4netns).
2. The Book: A detailed guide explaining the architecture, the "why", and the "how".
