images: Use a regular file, not a symbolic link, for README.md
A while ago, 'podman build' stopped supporting COPY with relative symbolic links [1]. Therefore, these image definitions can't be used without first temporarily removing the symbolic links, which is annoying. The downside is that the copies of README.md now has to be separately updated, which isn't that big of a hassle compared to the problem that it fixes.

|
||||
|
||||
[Toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox) is a tool for Linux operating
|
||||
systems, which allows the use of containerized command line environments. It is
|
||||
built on top of [Podman](https://podman.io/) and other standard container
|
||||
technologies from [OCI](https://opencontainers.org/).
|
||||
|
||||
This is particularly useful on
|
||||
[OSTree](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) based operating systems like
|
||||
[Fedora 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 — they mostly don't even have package
|
||||
managers like DNF or YUM. This makes it difficult to set up a development
|
||||
environment or install tools for debugging in the usual way.
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox solves this problem by providing a fully mutable container within
|
||||
which one can install their favourite development and debugging tools, editors
|
||||
and SDKs. For example, it's possible to do `yum install ansible` without
|
||||
affecting the base operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
However, this tool doesn't *require* using an OSTree based system. It works
|
||||
equally well on Fedora Workstation and Server, and that's a useful way to
|
||||
incrementally adopt containerization.
|
||||
|
||||
The toolbox environment is based on an [OCI](https://www.opencontainers.org/)
|
||||
image. On Fedora this is the `fedora-toolbox` image. This image is used to
|
||||
create a toolbox container that seamlessly integrates with the rest of the
|
||||
operating system by providing access to the user's home directory, the Wayland
|
||||
and X11 sockets, SSH agent, etc..
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox is installed by default on Fedora Silverblue. On other operating
|
||||
systems it's just a matter of installing the `toolbox` package.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Create your toolbox container:
|
||||
```console
|
||||
[user@hostname ~]$ toolbox create
|
||||
Created container: fedora-toolbox-33
|
||||
Enter with: toolbox enter
|
||||
[user@hostname ~]$
|
||||
```
|
||||
This will create a container called `fedora-toolbox-<version-id>`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enter the toolbox:
|
||||
```console
|
||||
[user@hostname ~]$ toolbox enter
|
||||
⬢[user@toolbox ~]$
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Remove a toolbox container:
|
||||
```console
|
||||
[user@hostname ~]$ toolbox rm fedora-toolbox-33
|
||||
[user@hostname ~]$
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies and Building
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox requires at least Podman 1.4.0 to work, and uses the Meson build
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
The following dependencies are required to build it:
|
||||
- meson
|
||||
- go-md2man
|
||||
- systemd
|
||||
- go
|
||||
- ninja
|
||||
|
||||
The following dependencies enable various optional features:
|
||||
- bash-completion
|
||||
|
||||
It can be built and installed as any other typical Meson-based project:
|
||||
```console
|
||||
[user@hostname toolbox]$ meson -Dprofile_dir=/etc/profile.d builddir
|
||||
[user@hostname toolbox]$ ninja -C builddir
|
||||
[user@hostname toolbox]$ sudo ninja -C builddir install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox is written in Go. Consult the
|
||||
[src/go.mod](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/master/src/go.mod) file
|
||||
for a full list of all the Go dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Toolbox uses Go modules and all the required Go packages are
|
||||
automatically downloaded as part of the build. There's no need to worry about
|
||||
the Go dependencies, unless the build environment doesn't have network access
|
||||
or any such peculiarities.
|
||||
|
||||
## Distro support
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Toolbox creates the container using an
|
||||
[OCI](https://www.opencontainers.org/) image called
|
||||
`<ID>-toolbox:<VERSION-ID>`, where `<ID>` and `<VERSION-ID>` are taken from the
|
||||
host's `/usr/lib/os-release`. For example, the default image on a Fedora 33
|
||||
host would be `fedora-toolbox:33`.
|
||||
|
||||
This default can be overridden by the `--image` option in `toolbox create`,
|
||||
but operating system distributors should provide an adequately configured
|
||||
default image to ensure a smooth user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
## Image requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox customizes newly created containers in a certain way. This requires
|
||||
certain tools and paths to be present and have certain characteristics inside
|
||||
the OCI image.
|
||||
|
||||
Tools:
|
||||
* `getent(1)`
|
||||
* `id(1)`
|
||||
* `ln(1)`
|
||||
* `mkdir(1)`: for hosts where `/home` is a symbolic link to `/var/home`
|
||||
* `passwd(1)`
|
||||
* `readlink(1)`
|
||||
* `rm(1)`
|
||||
* `rmdir(1)`: for hosts where `/home` is a symbolic link to `/var/home`
|
||||
* `sleep(1)`
|
||||
* `test(1)`
|
||||
* `touch(1)`
|
||||
* `unlink(1)`
|
||||
* `useradd(8)`
|
||||
* `usermod(8)`
|
||||
|
||||
Paths:
|
||||
* `/etc/host.conf`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/hosts`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/krb5.conf.d`: directory, not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/localtime`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/resolv.conf`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/timezone`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox enables `sudo(8)` access inside containers. The following is necessary
|
||||
for that to work:
|
||||
|
||||
* The image should have `sudo(8)` enabled for users belonging to either the
|
||||
`sudo` or `wheel` groups, and the group itself should exist. File an
|
||||
[issue](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/new) if you really need
|
||||
support for a different group. However, it's preferable to keep this list as
|
||||
short as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
* The image should allow empty passwords for `sudo(8)`. This can be achieved
|
||||
by either adding the `nullok` option to the `PAM(8)` configuration, or by
|
||||
add the `NOPASSWD` tag to the `sudoers(5)` configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Since Toolbox only works with OCI images that fulfill certain requirements,
|
||||
it will refuse images that aren't tagged with
|
||||
`com.github.containers.toolbox="true"` and
|
||||
`com.github.debarshiray.toolbox="true"` labels. These labels are meant to be
|
||||
used by the maintainer of the image to indicate that they have read this
|
||||
document and tested that the image works with Toolbox. You can use the
|
||||
following snippet in a Dockerfile for this:
|
||||
```Dockerfile
|
||||
LABEL com.github.containers.toolbox="true" \
|
||||
com.github.debarshiray.toolbox="true"
|
||||
```

## Image requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox customizes newly created containers in a certain way. This requires
|
||||
certain tools and paths to be present and have certain characteristics inside
|
||||
the OCI image.
|
||||
|
||||
Tools:
|
||||
* `getent(1)`
|
||||
* `id(1)`
|
||||
* `ln(1)`
|
||||
* `mkdir(1)`: for hosts where `/home` is a symbolic link to `/var/home`
|
||||
* `passwd(1)`
|
||||
* `readlink(1)`
|
||||
* `rm(1)`
|
||||
* `rmdir(1)`: for hosts where `/home` is a symbolic link to `/var/home`
|
||||
* `sleep(1)`
|
||||
* `test(1)`
|
||||
* `touch(1)`
|
||||
* `unlink(1)`
|
||||
* `useradd(8)`
|
||||
* `usermod(8)`
|
||||
|
||||
Paths:
|
||||
* `/etc/host.conf`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/hosts`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/krb5.conf.d`: directory, not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/localtime`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/resolv.conf`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
* `/etc/timezone`: optional, if present not a bind mount
|
||||
|
||||
Toolbox enables `sudo(8)` access inside containers. The following is necessary
|
||||
for that to work:
|
||||
|
||||
* The image should have `sudo(8)` enabled for users belonging to either the
|
||||
`sudo` or `wheel` groups, and the group itself should exist. File an
|
||||
[issue](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/new) if you really need
|
||||
support for a different group. However, it's preferable to keep this list as
|
||||
short as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
* The image should allow empty passwords for `sudo(8)`. This can be achieved
|
||||
by either adding the `nullok` option to the `PAM(8)` configuration, or by
|
||||
add the `NOPASSWD` tag to the `sudoers(5)` configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
Since Toolbox only works with OCI images that fulfill certain requirements,
|
||||
it will refuse images that aren't tagged with
|
||||
`com.github.containers.toolbox="true"` and
|
||||
`com.github.debarshiray.toolbox="true"` labels. These labels are meant to be
|
||||
used by the maintainer of the image to indicate that they have read this
|
||||
document and tested that the image works with Toolbox. You can use the
|
||||
following snippet in a Dockerfile for this:
|
||||
```Dockerfile
|
||||
LABEL com.github.containers.toolbox="true" \
|
||||
com.github.debarshiray.toolbox="true"
|
||||
```
