    So they say I can run a dozen of different web applications on the same machine all on the same port internally and different port externally and have a reverse proxy forwarding the traffic to the correct port based on the hostname it was called with by simply using a bunch of chrooted environments?

      Without the chroot, that’s how shared webhosting works but it can be hundreds or thousands of sites, depending on resource usage and server capacity.

      Not that it’s really relevant for the discussion, but yes. You can do that, with or without chroot.

      That’s obviously not the point, but we’re already comparing oranges and apples with chroot and containers.
