  • Only set --userns=keep-id when running rootless

  • Update to version 2.3+git20220603.bbeda2e:

  • Allow to choose runtime and try to retain the user's groups

  • (Try to) Avoid problems when packages touching bind mounts are upgraded
  • Try to make sure that (some) foreign distro images (kind of) work as toolboxes
  • Do not stop a toolbox with something running inside
  • Exit if neither podman or docker are usable
  • Support passing just the name of the container to create and enter command
  • Fix cleanup logic and make toolbox start a little less verbose
  • Always pull when creating a new toolbox

  • Add a "more sandboxing" mode

  • Allow docker as an alternative to podman in the package Requires. This was supported since 2.2.

  • Fixes error where if custom image is used toolbox will download the default image before entering an existing container. (#40)
