How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later? (lemmy.world)

I'm doing a bunch of AI stuff that needs compiling to try various unrelated apps. I'm making a mess of config files and extras. I've been using distrobox and conda. How could I do this better? Chroot? Different user logins for extra home directories? Groups? Most of the packages need access to CUDA and localhost. I would like to keep them out of my main home directory.

Haven't tried it (and don't use docker), so a wild shot: https://github.com/jupyterhub/repo2docker

'repo2docker fetches a repository (from GitHub, GitLab, Zenodo, Figshare, Dataverse installations, a Git repository or a local directory) and builds a container image in which the code can be executed. The image build process is based on the configuration files found in the repository.'

That way you can perhaps just delete the docker image and everything is gone. Doesn't seem to depend on jupyter..
