Tomas Popela ea5558cab0 Include containers tagged with c.gh.debarshiray.toolbox in 'list'
First we need to get the containers with an old label and then with the
new label. We have to change the format of the query to only include the
name of the containers and not the other informations like 'created' as
they could make a problem when removing the duplicates with uniq. When
we have the final list of containers we pass them to
containers_get_details() where we obtain the final details for them.

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 ~]$
