Distrobox offers you to use any linux distribution inside your terminal as a simple wrapper for Podman, Docker or Lilipod.
Setup
Distrobox uses Docker internally to fetch and run system images. Easily get started by enabling Podman with Docker-compatibility mode.
virtualisation.podman = {
enable = true;
dockerCompat = true;
};
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.distrobox ];
Usage
Setup container with latest Arch Linux image
# distrobox create --name archlinux --init --image archlinux:latest
Enter Arch Linux container
# distrobox enter archlinux
For further usage, please refer to the Distrobox documentation.
Tips and tricks
Using different architecture
Following example will run an Ubuntu container with a different architecture than the host, in this case arm64.
sudo podman run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static --reset -p yes
distrobox create -n debian --image arm64v8/debian
distrobox enter debian
