Toolbx
[small]#(Toolbx is not a typo, see the https://containertoolbx.org/[project page])#
As an immutable host, {variant-name} is an excellent platform for container-based development and, for working with containers, https://buildah.io/[buildah] and https://podman.io/[podman] are recommended.
{variant-name} also comes with the https://github.com/containers/toolbox[toolbx] utility, which uses containers to provide an environment where development tools and libraries can be installed and used.
Why use toolbx?
Toolbx makes it easy to use a containerized environment for everyday software development and debugging. On immutable operating systems, like {website}[{variant-name}], it provides a familiar package-based environment in which tools and libraries can be installed and used. However, toolbx can also be used on package-based systems.
Using Toolbx for running your workflows in a containerized manner brings you several advantages:
It keeps the host OS clean and stable, and helps to avoid the clutter that can happen after installing lots of development tools and packages.
You get access to different versions of supported distributions independent of the version you are running.
Containers are a good way to isolate and organise the dependencies needed for different projects.
Containers are a safe space to experiment: if things go wrong, it's easy to throw a toolbox away and start again.
However, it is very important to note that toolbx containers are still integrated with your host system, so you should not attempt to do things or run software you otherwise wouldn't on your host system. Toolbx containers are not completely isolated environments like virtual machines.
How it works
Toolbx takes the work out of using containers, by providing a small number of simple commands to create, enter, list and remove containers. It also integrates toolbx containers into your regular working environment, to make it easy for you to use them as an everyday development space.
Containers are created from images and those are usually a very stripped down version of distributions. In such images there are almost no tools and documentation available. The team behind Toolbx maintains a Fedora image where such tools and documentation are available, providing a good out of the box experience.
Each toolbx container is an environment that you can enter from the command line. Inside each one, you will find:
Your existing username and permissions
Access to your home directory and several other locations
Access to both system and session D-Bus, system journal and Kerberos
