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

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
