#toolbx — Public Fediverse posts

So I reinstalled my desktop with :fedora: Fedora Silverblue a few days ago.

I can easily say I'm happy with my choice. Once I got a grip on rpm-ostree, including accepting the reboots, getting it in order went really smooth.

Now I can start exploring and learning #toolbx. For sure much more challenging as I am quite the n00b working with containers on that level.

I'm still configuring my #alpinelinux + #cosmic desktop, and I realize I didn't want to install git in the main user-land on that computer, I'm being extra paranoid - and kind of petty. So I did whatever sane person would do:

- install #podman
- configure podman to be #rootless
- install #crun because rootless is not exactly what I really want
- install #toolbx
- install #git inside that isolated container
- profit

@almostsurely #Toolbx, one per project, subdirs on homedir. Takes more disk space having one per project, but the purpose is keep separate dependencies.

How do you people use #distrobox or #toolbx?

Do you create one container per project/topic you are working on?

Or do you have your #containers named like their base image and install your stuff just wherever it is easiest?

Do you reuse your home dir for each container or create a private one for each?

Do you have a "default" container or do you work on the host if you open up your terminal?

Where do you install #tmux (host, default container, in each container)?

#linux #silverblue

@passthejoe because it's the default on whatever it is you're running? I think #distrobox is probably a better option for a desktop usecase, but #toolbx is perfectly cromulent for a server, where you're basically just using #microOS or #coreOS for a container host, it doesn't need to be fancy.

Remember the last time Fedora Silverblue or Toolbox/Toolbx got a new feature? Me neither. Both have "maintenance mode" vibes.

#Fedora #Silverblue #AtomicFedora #Toolbx #Toolbox

Lo que hago es tener una rama para el / los contenedores y dejo la rama principal para el directorio de usuario del sistema base.

He puesto un alias que me dice en qué rama estoy al abrir un terminal o entrar en el toolbox.

Como digo, no sé si hay soluciones más fáciles o mejores que no pasen por dejar de usar Toolbox para usar Distrobox.

#Toolbx

¿Alguien usa toolbx / toolbox en lugar de distrobox? ¿Cómo mantenéis el directorio de usuario limpio de modificaciones y cambios en los ficheros de configuración?

Yo estoy probando esto, pero no sé si hay alguna solución mejor: https://marcel.is/managing-dotfiles-with-git-bare-repo/

#Fedora #Toolbx

@geekland Or you can just use #toolbx with #fedora 😎

I discovered that while my login on my #Silverblue system is in the dialout group, I'm not in the dialout group in my #toolbx container where I have programs installed that need to talk to (USB) serial devices!

How do I modify an existing toolbx container so that when I toolbox enter into it, my user is in the dialout group?

Llevo una semana utilizando https://containertoolbx.org/ y https://distrobox.it/

Puedo decir que ya me latió (y me estoy volviendo adicto a) usarlos 😻.
