Toolbox is being used with Endless OS, which is an OSTree based
operating system built out of Debian packages, not RPMs; and in the

use-case for Toolbox alongside Silverblue.

[Toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox) is a tool that offers a
familiar RPM based environment for developing and debugging software that runs
fully unprivileged using [Podman](https://podman.io/).
familiar package based environment for developing and debugging software that
runs fully unprivileged using [Podman](https://podman.io/).
The toolbox container is a fully *mutable* container; when you see
`yum install ansible` for example, that's something you can do inside your
toolbox container, without affecting the base operating system.
This is particularly useful on
[OSTree](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) based Fedora systems like
[OSTree](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) based operating systems like
[CoreOS](https://coreos.fedoraproject.org/) and
[Silverblue](https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/). The intention of these
systems is to discourage installation of software on the host, and instead
install software as (or in) containers.
