I'm currently looking into alternatives that don't require root. The perfect approach for me meets these requirements: * Relies on tools that are already available on most Linux installations or...

You're right that (1) is a sensible first step towards (2). I think that it is possible to safely implement (2) through unshare, as described [here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/66084/simulate-chroot-with-unshare/303660#303660).

I haven't played with user emulation before but looking at [documentation like this](https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation) it seems feasible to integrate into outrun itself, assuming that the target system is already set up...

I just did some experiments with running ARM executables on an x86_64 machine and vice versa (not with outrun, but just copying statically compiled ones) and I have a rough...

See my instructions at the end of my last comment. You can edit the `__main__.py` file where outrun is installed on the desktop to patch out the architecture check by...

It looks like this is an [open issue](https://bugs.python.org/issue9334) in Python's `argparse` module. The workaround is to use the following syntax: ``` outrun --ssh=-vvv user@host ls ```

What would cause a remote to be unprivileged when it has access to your local file system/environment variables? Are you trying to work around networking/firewall restrictions?

Make sure that you installed outrun globally on `xxx`. The SSH session started by outrun won't find local Python modules based on configuration in `.bashrc`/`.zshrc`/etc. This will be improved in...

Perhaps not as productive as some other use cases, but I really like [this idea](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26505588) of running the very CPU intensive Dwarf Fortress on an external machine. I've also tried...
