distrobox-enter takes care of entering the container with the name specified. Default command executed is your SHELL, but you can specify different shells or entire commands to execute. If using it inside a script, an application, or a service, you can specify the --headless mode to disable tty and interactivity.
Usage:
distrobox-enter --name fedora-toolbox-35 -- bash -l
distrobox-enter my-alpine-container -- sh -l
Supported environment variables:
DBX_CONTAINER_NAME
Options:
--name/-n: name for the distrobox default: fedora-toolbox-35
--/-e: end arguments execute the rest as command to execute at login default: bash -l
--headless/-H: do not instantiate a tty
--help/-h: show this message
--verbose/-v: show more verbosity
--version/-V: show version
This is used to enter the distrobox itself. Personally, I just create multiple profiles in my gnome-terminal to have multiple distros accessible.
