Distrobox

Installation

Distrobox is widely available through package managers.

Alternativelyj, you can use the script at:

  curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/89luca89/distrobox/main/install | sudo sh

You also need to install either podman, lilipod(or docker).

As of latest update to this page, I have tried lilipod, which worked well with the archlinux image.

distrobox create -n your_container_name --image quay.io/toolbx/arch-toolbox:latest

Usually, distrobox asks you to pull the image, which you should.

Then to enter the container, run

  distrobox enter your_container_name

You still have access to all the files while using the container system executables, tools, etc.
