Debarshi Ray 37d5459bfe Give access to Kerberos if KCM credential caches are being used
There's no easy way to introspect the Kerberos configuration from the
command line. eg., the credential cache type being used, or the value
of the socket_path setting that denotes which socket the KCM service
will listen on. Therefore, it's assumed that the former is KCM if the
socket's path can be parsed from the sssd-kcm.socket unit.

Given the immutable nature of Podman containers, the toolbox container
and its corresponding image will have to be re-created if the host OS
is sufficiently re-configured.

The krb5-libs package was added to the base toolbox images to ensure
the presence of the /etc/krb5.conf.d directory with the correct
permissions. Currently, the package is already pulled in by various
dependencies. Therefore, it doesn't increase the size of the base
image, but serves as a safeguard against any inadvertent changes.

Toolbox — Unprivileged development environment

Toolbox is a tool that offers a familiar RPM based environment for developing and debugging software that runs fully unprivileged using Podman.

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 based Fedora systems like Silverblue. The intention of these systems is to discourage installation of software on the host, and instead install software as (or in) containers.

However, this tool doesn't require using an OSTree based system — it works equally well if you're running e.g. existing Fedora Workstation or Server, and that's a useful way to incrementally adopt containerization.

The toolbox environment is based on an OCI image. On Fedora this is the fedora-toolbox image. This image is then customized for the current user to create a toolbox container that seamlessly integrates with the rest of the operating system.

Usage

Create your toolbox container:

[user@hostname ~]$ toolbox create
[user@hostname ~]$

This will create a container, and an image, called fedora-toolbox-<your-username>:<version-id> that's specifically customised for your host user.

Enter the toolbox:

[user@hostname ~]$ toolbox enter
🔹[user@toolbox ~]$
