OK, so I figured out a better path forward for toolbox vs distrobox.
https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/rhel9/toolbox/61532be3bc74e0be7ca66e40?architecture=amd64&image=65a8fbdad59cca758b7d47db
https://github.com/containers/toolbox/tree/main/images/rhel/9.3
These containers are identical.
One is provided directly as a command line option to toolbox, the other you would have to log into a container registry to get.
My instinct is since they are both built on UBI, I'd prefer to just use what Toolbox ships.
So as far as a ujust script is concerned, it would be pretty simple.
Because toolbox supports a smaller amount of images, it should be pretty easy to implement.
I'm going to see if it's as easy as doing
toolbox create --distro rhel --release latest
I don't think that will work though.
it doesn't.
Ugh...
I'm debating if it's worth shipping a ujust command for toolbox at this point.
It only supports:
- Arch
- Fedora
- RHEL
- Ubuntu
You can do images for it.
and theoretically the container images for distrobox would like work.
but they aren't directly supported by the project.
OK.
One more thing.
and I'm done.
Here is a gotcha with Distrobox.
if you install subscription-manager on your machine without subscribing, that is when distrobox breaks.
if you are registered using subscription manager, the redhat.repo exists and your containers will not complain.Hi Noel, I've just pushed a commit to fix this 👍
I saw that! Thank you so much for doing that!
