Chroot allows user based namespace isolation on many standard Linux deployments.

## 1. Prerequisites
* Familiarity with [chroot](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/chroot.2.html)
* Chroot installed on your machine.

## 2. Install Minio in Chroot
```sh
mkdir -p /mnt/export/${USER}/bin
wget https://dl.minio.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio -O /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
chmod +x /mnt/export/${USER}/bin/minio
```

Bind your `proc` mount to the target chroot directory
```
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/export/${USER}/proc
```

## 3. Run Standalone Minio in Chroot
### GNU/Linux
```sh
sudo chroot --userspec username:group /mnt/export/${USER} /bin/minio --config-dir=/.minio server /data
