NAME
toolbox-run - Run a command in an existing toolbox container
SYNOPSIS
toolbox run [--container NAME | -c NAME] [--distro DISTRO | -d DISTRO] [--release RELEASE | -r RELEASE] [COMMAND]
DESCRIPTION
Runs a command inside an existing toolbox container. The container should have
been created using the toolbox create command.
On Fedora, the default container is known as fedora-toolbox-N, where N is
the release of the host. A specific container can be selected using the
--container option.
A toolbox container is an OCI container. Therefore, toolbox run is analogous
to a podman start followed by a podman exec.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--container NAME, -c NAME
Run command inside 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
Run command inside a toolbox container for a different operating system DISTRO than the host.
--release RELEASE, -r RELEASE
Run command inside a toolbox container for a different operating system RELEASE than the host.
EXAMPLES
Run ls inside a toolbox container using the default image matching the host OS
$ toolbox run ls -la
Run emacs inside a toolbox container using the default image for Fedora 30
$ toolbox run --distro fedora --release f30 emacs
Run uptime inside a custom toolbox container using a custom image
$ toolbox run --container foo uptime
