I'd also suggest installing dev tools in a container, anyway. Keeps the base image cleaner.

Kyep, distrobox is always better when possible
ELooking at this, does it look like it would be compatible with Bazzite do you think? https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux?tab=readme-ov-file&fbclid=IwAR0zXOTBxi2KM8vQBThZIzLq9wMVUW2CvqEy-VLU6P1LR5UjE6DLQBFzYFk

This is a project, where I give you a way to use Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux! - cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux
AI'm looking into that, as well as toolbox. Kinda cool that I could create a distrobox from docker.io/library/ruby:3.3.0.
KDistrobox I prefer to toolbox because of distrobox-export
K
Mthe real abbreviation is so much sillier, “cool other package repo” lmao
AI'm so new, I have no opinion on either, so happy to use distrobox.
ASo, does anyone here run gui apps out of distrobox containers?
FEvery day. VSCode, a dedicated Twitch app, Looking Glass for my Windows VM, etc.
P
Hevery day here too
Hall my development happens in distrobox, i use vscode flatpak to interact with it
AThat's the pattern I'm seeing. Ok, just don't want to swim against the current here.
Rok so this is weird, the wifi on my device is not the only thing that gets weird after coming out of sleep, the brightness settings also get messed up
Asteam likes to play a bit with them on wakeup
FHow do you use the dev environment in a container through the flatpak editor? Export the binaries?
ALearning all of this on my laptop so when I go to switch over my main gaming/dev rig over to bazzite I won't be completely lost.
AFrom what I've seen, you share the host filesystem into the dev container automagically. So make code changes in editor, run tool on same dir in container.
FAnd how do you build and run the code, is my question. The base image doesn't have, for example, dotnet installed.
Aso, ima ask
Awhats wrong with docker?
Amakes working with ruby pretty easy. I mean, I'm fairly competent at managing rbenv, but if I can use the exact same image to develop in that I deploy in? Win-Win.
ALots, but also, nothing. It's great. I use it all the time.
Awhy use distrobox for dev then?
Adistrobox just uses podman under the hood, no?
AAnd it handles the volume mounts, which is nice.
Mit uses podman/podman-docker afaik
Ai just use docker compose
Awith the docker ppa
Ayes i dev on ubuntu server
FDistrobox is essentially just podman/docker, but with preconfigured defaults to make it more intuitive and straightforward when you need a single environment with multiple uses / applications.
A@Frozen how do the distrobox gui apps get exported to the main host screen?
Jthis comes from redhat/fedora
Jthey tell people to use toolbox for development
Ri need to use distrobox more
Jso people end up using distrobox for the same thing
Henter the container and do
distrobox-export --app appnamei dont even use docker anymore
Ai just use a virtual environment
FInside the container, there's a
distrobox-exportdebugging through docker is a pain anyway
Asounds like conda
AOH. So you're still executing it from the host, it's just calling into the dev container. Gotcha.
Ai hate conda
Alets create 1000 envs with different names decoupled from projects and forget what they do
FYeah, for example:
Awhy not put the env in the project folder?
ANow I just need to get a version of all this running with my hyprland setup.
A...no. Just bazzite for now. My Hyprland box is EndeavourOS (arch).
