How is it different from Toolbox? (https://github.com/containers/toolbox https://github.com/containers/toolbox)
- maxboone 3y agoFYI, Toolbox mounts your entire home into each instance (and you can't run separate HOMEs for each instance, as not everything adheres to $HOME all too well). This completely ruined the experience for me.
- Gigachad 3y agoI think this is typically, but not always, what you want. All of my usage of toolbox was using tools installed inside a container to operate on files in my home.
- edwintorok 3y agoDistrobox also works on top of other distributions like Ubuntu.
- freeCandy 3y agoToolbox can run anywhere podman can, so it should work just fine on Ubuntu too.
- darrenf 3y agoQuoting the README: It implements the same concepts introduced by https://github.com/containers/toolbox but in a simplified way using POSIX sh and aiming at broader compatibility. All the props go to them as they had the great idea to implement this stuff.
