is a tool for Linux, which allows the\nuse of interactive command line environments for software development and\ntroubleshooting the host operating system, without having to install software\non the host. It is built on top of [Podman](https://podman.io/) and other\nstandard container technologies from [OCI](https://opencontainers.org/).\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e Toolbx was\n\u003e [previously](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/commit/c3403dae8cb0544e)\n\u003e known as Toolbox, and even\n\u003e [before that](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/commit/c6b5a4836fe63601)\n\u003e as Fedora Toolbox. Work is in progress to update the name to Toolbx in\n\u003e various places. Thus this Git repository and the binary are still `toolbox`\n\u003e and the package may still be `toolbox` on various systems.\n\u003e\n\u003e If you'd like to help,\n\u003e [here's](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/commit/c3403dae8cb0544e)\n\u003e a to-do list.\n\u003e\n\u003e \"Toolbx\" with a capital \"T\" and without an \"o\" is now the canonical name.\n\nToolbx environments have seamless access to the user's home directory,\nthe Wayland and X11 sockets, networking (including Avahi), removable devices\n(like USB sticks), systemd journal, SSH agent, D-Bus, ulimits, /dev and the\nudev database, etc..\n\nThis is particularly useful on\n[OSTree](https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/) based operating systems like\n[Fedora CoreOS](https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/) and\n[Silverblue](https://fedoraproject.org/silverblue/). The intention of these\nsystems is to discourage installation of software on the host, and instead\ninstall software as (or in) containers — they mostly don't even have package\nmanagers like DNF or YUM. This makes it difficult to set up a development\nenvironment or troubleshoot the operating system in the usual way.\n\nToolbx solves this problem by providing a fully mutable container within\nwhich one can install their favourite development and troubleshooting tools,\neditors and SDKs. For example, it's possible to do `yum install ansible`\nwithout affecting the base operating system.\n\nHowever, this tool doesn't *require* using an OSTree based system. It works\nequally well on Fedora Workstation and Server, and that's a useful way to\nincrementally adopt containerization.\n\nThe Toolbx environment is based on an [OCI](https://www.opencontainers.org/)\nimage. On Fedora this is the `fedora-toolbox` image. This image is used to\ncreate a Toolbx container that offers the interactive command line\nenvironment.\n\nNote that Toolbx makes no promise about security beyond what's already\navailable in the usual command line environment on the host that everybody is\nfamiliar with.\n\n\n## Installation \u0026 Use\n\nSee our guides on\n[installing \u0026 getting started](https://containertoolbx.org/install/) with\nToolbx and [Linux distro support](https://containertoolbx.org/distros/).\n\n\n##\n\n[![Star History Chart](https://api.star-history.com/svg?repos=containers/toolbox\u0026type=Date)](https://star-history.com/#containers/toolbox\u0026Date)\n\n\n##\n\n[![Zuul](https://zuul-ci.org/gated.svg)](https://softwarefactory-project.io/zuul/t/local/builds?project=containers/toolbox)\n[![Daily Pipeline](https://softwarefactory-project.io/zuul/api/tenant/local/badge?project=containers/toolbox\u0026pipeline=periodic)](https://softwarefactory-project.io/zuul/t/local/builds?project=containers%2Ftoolbox\u0026pipeline=periodic)\n\n[![Arch Linux package](https://img.shields.io/archlinux/v/extra/x86_64/toolbox?logo=archlinux)](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/toolbox/)\n[![Fedora package](https://img.shields.io/fedora/v/toolbox/rawhide?logo=fedora)](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/toolbox/)\n[![Ubuntu package](https://img.shields.io/badge/ubuntu-0.0.99.3%2Bgit20230118%2B446d7bfdef6a-orange?logo=ubuntu)](https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/podman-toolbox)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Go","Shell","linux","Applications","By Language","Toolboxes"],"sub_categories":["Security","Shell"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcontainers%2Ftoolbox","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcontainers%2Ftoolbox","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcontainers%2Ftoolbox/lists"}
