Declarative distrobox config

Open samhh opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

My Arch container broke between 21.11 -> unstable. Ideally it'd be described declaratively.

Here's how I get it set up:

$ distrobox create -i archlinux -n arch
$ distrobox enter arch
$ $ sudo pacman -S pacman-contrib binutils git

No Home Manager config. There is a config file in distrobox itself: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox#configure-distrobox

Nix might be garbage collecting stuff which is breaking my containers.

Additionally I need to pull the Arch image from time to time, for example because old images have outdated PGP signatures somewhere, breaking container creation.

Will want distrobox 1.5 for this for access to distrobox assemble.

Now likely to still be blocked by a lack of macOS support.
