- <title>Container Management</title>
- <para>
-  NixOS allows you to easily run other NixOS instances as
-  <emphasis>containers</emphasis>. Containers are a light-weight approach to
-  virtualisation that runs software in the container at the same speed as in
-  the host system. NixOS containers share the Nix store of the host, making
-  container creation very efficient.
- </para>
- <warning>
-  <para>
-   Currently, NixOS containers are not perfectly isolated from the host system.
-   This means that a user with root access to the container can do things that
-   affect the host. So you should not give container root access to untrusted
-   users.
-  </para>

- <para>
-  NixOS containers can be created in two ways: imperatively, using the command
-  <command>nixos-container</command>, and declaratively, by specifying them in
-  your <filename>configuration.nix</filename>. The declarative approach implies
-  that containers get upgraded along with your host system when you run
-  <command>nixos-rebuild</command>, which is often not what you want. By
-  contrast, in the imperative approach, containers are configured and updated
-  independently from the host system.
