Currently, I'm working on a LXC (Linux Containers) project, I heard that it was possible to use Namespaces in order to be ROOT on the container but not on the host machine.
Have you already heard about this method ? Have you any documentation to give me ?
Thanks,

No problem with your english guy we understand your problem
Of course you can be root into the container and not on your host. Separate the workspace but use the same user.
You user is a classic user on your host but you give to him root privilege into your container context.
Distribution: Solaris 11.4, Oracle Linux, Mint, Debian/WSL

You have likely heard about unprivileged containers. With them, the root user in the container is mapped to a non root userid in the host..
