## 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 image, or
|
|
entirely customized containers created from custom-built images.
|
|
|
|
**--distro** DISTRO, **-d** DISTRO
|
|
|
|
Run command inside a toolbox container for a different operating system DISTRO
|
|
than the host. Has to be coupled with `--release` unless the selected system
|
|
matches the host system.
|
|
|
|
**--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 36
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ toolbox run --distro fedora --release f36 emacs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run uptime inside a custom toolbox container using a custom image
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ toolbox run --container foo uptime
|
|
```
