You have to remove that container to be able to reuse that name: that name is already in use, or use --replace to instruct Podman to do so.

See above

Expected behavior
editor should start from within the container

Hi @mcepl

to be clear

1 - you use this ini file

[vis]
image="registry.opensuse.org/home/mcepl/moldavite/containers/opensuse/vis-master:latest"
pull=true
replace=true

2 - you do distrobox assemble create -n vis
3 - you distrobox enter vis
4 - you distrobox-export --bin /usr/bin/vis

then when you run the exported binary, you get an error?

[mcepl]

then when you run the exported binary, you get an error?

Now this works, but if I run later distrobox assemble create -n vis again (to update the container) then it fails.

Or do you have any other means how to update a container? I was thinking about this script as an alternative, but I would prefer to stay with already existing distrobox commands (and I am not sure how reliable it is anyway):

#!/bin/bash
# shellcheck disable=SC2086
set -eux

root='' # false

usage()
{
   # Display Help
   echo "Upgrade image of a distrobox container"
   echo
   echo "Syntax: distrobox-pull [-h] NAME"
   echo "options:"
   echo "h     Print this Help."
   echo
   exit 1
}

while getopts "hr" option; do
   case $option in
      h) # display Help
         usage
         ;;
      r) # we will use root container
         root=1
         ;;
      \?) # Invalid option
         echo "Error: Invalid option"
         exit 1
         ;;
   esac
done

shift $((OPTIND - 1))
if [ $# -lt 1 ]
then
    usage
fi

NAME=$1
if [ $root ] ; then
    sudo podman ps|awk '/"'$NAME'"/ { print $0 }'
    IMG_NAME=$(sudo podman ps|awk '$NF == "'$NAME'" {print $2}')
    sudo podman stop "$NAME"
    distrobox rm --root "$NAME"
    distrobox create --root --pull --name "$NAME" --image "$IMG_NAME"
else
    podman ps|awk '/"'$NAME'"/ { print $0 }'
    IMG_NAME="$(podman ps|awk '$NF == "'$NAME'" {print $2}')"
    podman stop "$NAME"
    distrobox rm "$NAME"
    distrobox create --pull --name "$NAME" --image "$IMG_NAME"
fi

And yes this doesn’t work either, because it breaks on distrobox rm again.
