SYNOPSIS

toolbox [command] [options]

DESCRIPTION

toolbox (or Toolbx) provides containerized command-line environments on Linux, primarily for Fedora Silverblue, CoreOS, and other immutable/ostree-based distributions. It creates mutable containers that seamlessly integrate with the host system.
Containers have access to the user's home directory, networking, and graphical environment while being isolated from the immutable host OS. This allows installing and using development tools without modifying the base system.

PARAMETERS

create

Create a new Toolbx container
enter
Enter a container for interactive use
list
List existing containers and images
rm
Remove one or more containers
rmi
Remove one or more images
run
Run a command in a container
-h, --help
Display help information
--version
Display version information

CAVEATS

Requires Podman as the container runtime. Best suited for immutable Linux distributions. Container images are distribution-specific. Integration with the host may vary.
