base-shell-env

Description

base-shell-env is a container image meant to serve as a base for other containers used with Distrobox and Toolbox, but it can also be used a shell image directly. It has a few goodies installed like Starship and Chezmoi.

Features

• Starship installed.
• Chezmoi installed.
• Some commands run on the host system so you don't have to flip between a base-shell-env shell and your host's shell:
  • dconf
  • distrobox
  • flatpak
  • fwupdmgr
  • gsettings
  • journalctl
  • org.gnome.Meld
  • org.vim.Vim
  • ostree
  • podman
  • rpm-ostree
  • systemctl
  • tailscale
  • xdg-open
  • yq
  • ytt

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You must have a container runtime installed, like Podman(preferred) or Docker.

Usage

Pull down the image and use it directly with Distrobox or Toolbox:

distrobox create -i ghcr.io/comminutus/base-shell-env base
distrobox enter base

or yolo

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/comminutus/base-shell-env/master/create-distrobox.bash | bash -c 'eval "$(cat)"'

Or use it as the base for other images in a Containerfile or Dockerfile to create more shell images:

FROM ghcr.io/comminutus/base-shell-env:latest
...
