You can rip a rootfs from a docker image using skopeo[1] and undocker[2] then you can puppeteer it with bwrap[3].

This works for most linux distributions (they behave well as fakeroot puppets). Package managers from Debian-based distros tend to misbehave in bwrap in my experience.

I use this method to obtain software from various distro repositories or when RPM packages are distributed by vendors.
