Containers: a graphical shell for Toolbx
Would be nice to "appify" the development environments of Toolbx into an app.
High level goals
- Easily launch into the dev env directly from the shell, leaning on keyboard shortcuts.
- Easily list available container types, allow to maybe download third party ones? (Distro hop)
- Indicate the different containers with color / logo/avatars
- Investigate possibilities like snapshotting/cloning
Prior art
There's a couple of apps that attempt to merry a sandboxes terminal environment in a graphical shell.
- Atoms -- my experience is that it isn't very robust, but the workflow isn't bad.
- Pods -- very early in development.
- Toolbox Tuner
- Podman Desktop
- Boxi
- Workshops
- Project Exo
