Project description

It's a tool to create pet-container using Podman. The container is fully mutable and maps your user home to the container.

I took a brief look at this a couple of months ago after it was rewritten in go. I'll post what I had if I can find it.

It uses meson/ninja as a build system which makes it kind of non-standard and a bit awkward to package compared to other go projects, might be easier to skip it and specify the build/install phases manually.

IIRC it also needed completion/profile.d paths to be patched in, had issues trying to mount other paths on NixOS and it wanted flatpak for some reason.

I also took a shot at getting toolbox working a while back, and wrote a nix expression for building the package, but decided to try it out when podman is rolled out in a stable NixOS channel. Now that 20.09 is released, I'm trying it out but I get cryptic errors like the following:

$ toolbox enter -v

I might look into this further when I get the time, but people are welcome to look into this issue to try and fix it. Meanwhile, here's the nix expression to build it: https://github.com/mt-caret/nix-config/blob/55ca5a343feec9c0cdef9d6a035ac9e99d1d0208/packages/toolbox.nix
Note that in order to use toolbox on NixOS, you seem to need the following config:

{
  virtualisation.podman.enable = true;
  services.flatpak.enable = true;
  xdg.portal.enable = true;
}

People seem to be against usage of buildGoModule (see #84826), so if people are interested in seeing this in nixpkgs, someone probably needs to port this to buildGoPackage.

Hi @mt-caret ,

I modified a little your nix expression https://github.com/tfmoraes/nixoscfg/blob/main/overlays/pkgs/toolbox/default.nix

I added a patch to check if /mtn exists (it not exists in my system for instance). I also changed to copy profile.d/toolbox.sh to $out/share/profile.d/toolbox.sh and it's mapping this file inside the container.

I'm having the same error. So I tried to start the container using podman, this way:

❯ podman start  --interactive  -a  fedora-toolbox-33                                                                                                                                                        
WARN[0000] cannot toggle freezer: cgroups not configured for container 
WARN[0000] lstat : no such file or directory            
standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: no such file or directory

Maybe the problem now is because o cgroups. I don't now.

I had to submit an upstream patch to fix an error introduced in newer builds with ownership of the toolboxRuntimeDirectory. I think this would be good to have, so I'm interested in carrying on the work. I was able to build toolbox (thanks for the derivation). The biggest issue seems to be this. Trying to start a container with toolbox enter yields:

DEBU[0000] Called inspect.PersistentPostRunE(/nix/store/h9was55f3ir6b2sq5vc96cpgns3qbfz0-podman-2.2.1/bin/podman --log-level debug inspect --format json --type container fedora-toolbox-32)
DEBU Entry point PID is a float64
DEBU Entry point of container fedora-toolbox-32 is toolbox (PID=0)
Error: invalid entry point PID of container fedora-toolbox-32

See this issue. Seems that the reported issue occured when host and container glibc don't match. The toolbox binary gets bind-mounted into the fedora container, which may cause issues without the requisite store paths also being mounted. See:

❯ ldd result/bin/toolbox

Toolbox is kinda leaky by design, so this might be a problem.

I have it running! Hello from vim installed via dnf. It's blocked by my upstream patch which you can follow here: containers/toolbox#675

tfmoraes · 2021-01-22T13:35:35Z

That's great @mjlbach!!! I think toolbox is a great tool to have in NixOS.

mjlbach · 2021-01-22T13:36:37Z

Agreed! Please test the PR if you have time :) Thanks for your work!

#110473

debarshiray · 2021-02-20T08:58:35Z

Very happy to see your interest in Toolbox!

it wanted flatpak for some reason.

I just wanted to point out that Toolbox doesn't actually need Flatpak proper. It's just the flatpak-session-helper daemon which is a D-Bus session service that comes from flatpak.git but is completely separate from the rest of Flatpak. In fact, in Fedora, we ship it is a separate isolated sub-package. The purpose behind this daemon is to keep certain configuration files in the container's /etc synchronized with their counterparts in the host. eg., /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/localtime, etc..

Anyway, good news is that these days, since Toolbox 0.0.97, the flatpak-session-helper daemon is no longer used for newly created containers, because the functionality has been absorbed into Toolbox itself. One big reason was to enable rootful Toolbox containers (ie., sudo toolbox create ...). Older, preexisting containers will continue to use the daemon, though.

debarshiray · 2021-02-20T10:07:01Z

See this issue. Seems
that the reported issue occured when host and container
glibc don't match. The toolbox binary gets bind-mounted
into the fedora container, which may cause issues without
the requisite store paths also being mounted.

Just a minor note. The actual issue is containers/toolbox#529 See the related commit for an explanation on how we solved it.

Ideas for better solutions welcome. :)

This issue is important to me.

i2 · 2021-12-01T01:59:22Z

Any update on this? Can this be merged to upstream and closed?

debarshiray · 2021-12-01T14:24:41Z

Is there anything that you need from the Toolbx project?

mjlbach · 2021-12-01T14:43:03Z

There are two remaining roadblocks. To clarify, I no longer use nixos and will probably not work on this (I still am an active toolbox user, just on Fedora :))

Handling glibc updates. Any time the hash of glibc changes in the nix store, all toolbox containers will break (and need to be recreated). I'm sure there is a clever way around this, either a service that runs after a nix-rebuild that updates the bind mounts, or patching toolbox to update the bind mount on each toolbox enter. These seem very nix (or guix) specific)
The SDDM issue, there's nothing I think toolbox should do about this. Nixpkgs could consider carrying the sddm patches until merged upstream.

Anyone is free to takeover #110473, I won't be continuing it. The PR "works" with the caveat of point 1 not being handled, so you'll have to periodically recreate toolboxes.

tfmoraes · 2021-12-02T00:33:48Z

@debarshiray after the container creation, it's possible to change the bind mounts and ports? Is there a file to edit?

tfmoraes · 2021-12-09T17:34:58Z

I found this alternative to toolbox https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox

debarshiray · 2021-12-15T03:41:41Z

@debarshiray after the container creation, it's possible to change the bind
mounts and ports? Is there a file to edit?

There's no support for doing it easily through a Toolbx-specific configuration file at the moment.

However, you can script something through one of the shell start-up scripts.
