SYNOPSIS
toolbox list
DESCRIPTION
The toolbox-list
command lists the toolbox containers created by the toolbox create
command. Toolbox containers are isolated environments built on top of Podman, providing a space for installing software packages without impacting the host system. This command allows users to view the available toolbox containers, their names, and their current status. It is a helpful tool for managing and understanding the available development and testing environments on a Fedora or RHEL-based system using Toolbox. This tool also helps to verify that the container is properly configured and accessible. The output format is designed for easy readability and integration with other command-line tools, offering a quick overview of available toolbox instances.
CAVEATS
The toolbox containers will only be listed if they were created by the toolbox command itself.
CONTAINER STATUS
The list displays the state of each container, such as 'created', 'running', or 'exited'. A running container indicates an active development environment. If a container is exited, it signifies that the toolbox is inactive and can be started using toolbox enter
or toolbox run
.
CONFIGURATION FILES
The toolbox-list
command output doesn't show associated configuration files. Configuration for each container is stored and managed by Toolbox and Podman; it's not directly exposed through the command's output.
HISTORY
Toolbox was created to provide a convenient way to manage containerized development environments, particularly on Fedora and related distributions. It allows users to install development tools and libraries within a container, isolating them from the host system. toolbox-list
is fundamental to this functionality, providing the means to discover the available toolbox containers.
