Toolbox Custom Images

These toolbox images are tailored for my own use and stored in quay.io.

Current toolbox images

devenv - toolbox

Preinstalled dev environment to build rpm packages. Also used for Fedora package reviews.

base - toolbox

Preinstalled base environment used to complement packages installed via rpm-ostree.

Usage

You can either use toolbox run --container <container> <command> to launch the preinstalled package or you can create a shim, store it somewhere in your PATH (for instance in ~/.local/bin), ln -s <shim_script> <package_binary> and finally launch a preinstalled package:

Example usage

Assuming you want to run ranger and you want to name your container base:

Create the toolbox:

toolbox create --container base --image quay.io/returntrip/base-fedora-toolbox

Create a shim:

~/.local/bin/toolbox-base-runner

#!/bin/sh
basename_bin=$(basename $0)
exec toolbox run --container base $basename_bin "$@"

Make the shim executable:

chmod +x toolbox-base-runner
Create a symbolic link for ranger:

ln -s toolbox-base-runner ranger
You can now use ranger on the host and launch ranger from the base toolbox
