NAME

       toolbox-enter - Enter a toolbox container for interactive use

SYNOPSIS

       toolbox enter [--distro DISTRO | -d DISTRO]
                     [--release RELEASE | -r RELEASE]
                     [CONTAINER]

DESCRIPTION

       Spawns an interactive shell inside a toolbox container that was created using the toolbox create command.
       It tries to spawn the user's default shell, but if it's not available inside the container then it  falls
       back to /bin/bash.

       When  invoked  without any options, toolbox enter will try to enter the default toolbox container for the
       host, or if there's only one container available then it will use it. On Fedora, the default container is
       known  as  fedora-toolbox-N,  where N is the release of the host. If there aren't any containers, toolbox
       enter will offer to create the default one for you.

       A specific container can be selected using the CONTAINER argument.

       A toolbox container is an OCI container. Therefore, toolbox enter is analogous to a podman start followed
       by a podman exec.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --distro DISTRO, -d DISTRO

       Enter  a  toolbox container for a different operating system DISTRO than the host. Has to be coupled with
       --release unless the selected DISTRO matches the host.

       --release RELEASE, -r RELEASE

       Enter a toolbox container for a different operating system RELEASE than the host.

EXAMPLES

   Enter a toolbox container using the default image matching the host OS
       $ toolbox enter

   Enter a toolbox container using the default image for Fedora 36
       $ toolbox enter --distro fedora --release f36

   Enter a custom toolbox container using a custom image
       $ toolbox enter foo
