Is there a way to run centos 7 image via toolbox?

There are no pre-canned Toolbox images for CentOS like we have for Fedora. That said, you can always create your own using a Dockerfile and use the --image flag to point to it.

Take a look at the Fedora Dockerfiles in the image sub-directory and the contents of the toolbox-experience and toolbox-support RPM packages. You just need to ensure that the image has some baseline command line utilities.

Same question for CentOS8, now that it is available.

@debarshiray How would I do this for the Arch base image from dockerhub? I don't know what url to add after --image.

So can i make pull request for centos image? To the same directory as you have for fedora?

@mvala Take a look at PR #286, see if that does what you need it to.

Yes, this is it

Any news on this issue?

From our side no news. We're currently focused on rewriting toolbox.

Ah, i see. Will it support centos X images?

Currently the goal is to get the original functionality and then we want to add new functionality.

Ok. I see. Will it be version 0.1.XX?

Probably yes.

Any updates?

@mvalahtv, we're still putting v0.1.0 together. Feel free to check out https://github.com/containers/toolbox/pull/286 and try it locally on your machine.

I've just tested it and it looks fine to me.
