Ricardo,

Thanks for pointing that out. I have gone through that. However, none of
those options are applicable here. All of those at some point requires root
permission. The proot is the only option but it is terribly slow and also
several time does not work with dispatching jobs etc (do not have real
example but had felt difficulty beyond slow speed).

For now I am managing with Nix but I need something that is portable to
older kernel. Unfortunately, at several work places that is the case.

Regards,
Rohit
