NAME
toolbox-enter - Enter a toolbox container for interactive use
SYNOPSIS
toolbox enter [--container NAME | -c NAME] [--distro DISTRO | -d DISTRO] [--release RELEASE | -r RELEASE]
DESCRIPTION
Spawns an interactive shell inside a toolbox container. The container should
have been created using the toolbox create command. If there aren't any
containers, toolbox enter will offer to create one for you. When invoked with
the default parameters, and if there's only one container available, it will
fall back to it, even if it doesn't match the default name.
A toolbox container is an OCI container. Therefore, toolbox enter is
analogous to a podman start followed by a podman exec.
By default, the toolbox containers are tagged with the version of the OS that corresponds to the content inside them. Their names are prefixed with the name of the base image and suffixed with the current user name.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--container NAME, -c NAME
Enter a toolbox container with the given NAME. This is useful when there are multiple toolbox containers created from the same base image, or entirely customized containers created from custom-built base images.
--distro DISTRO, -d DISTRO
Enter a toolbox container for a different operating system DISTRO than the host.
--release RELEASE, -r RELEASE
Enter a toolbox container for a different operating system RELEASE than the host.
EXAMPLES
Enter a toolbox container using the default image matching the host OS
$ toolbox enter
Enter a toolbox container using the default image for Fedora 30
$ toolbox enter --distro fedora --release f30
Enter a custom toolbox container using a custom image
$ toolbox enter --container foo
