Hi

I think this page could be integrated into [[Ways_to_install_programs]]

It seems that the editor did not even check the wiki before creating this stub. All possibilities are already mentioned in [[Ways_to_install_programs]] Distrobox can be linked. So this stub needs to be deleted…

= Software with no package for Mageia =

Sometimes we will want to use software for which there is at present no package for Mageia.

If the software in question is available in an rpm package, <some name>.rpm, for AlamaLinux, CentOS Stream, Fedora, Rocky, etc then it '''may''' be possible to install using the Mageia Software Installer or command line tools. However, often it is the case that needed dependencies are not available in Mageia. If the software we want is only available as a .deb package, <some name>.deb, then we cannot install it directly.

So, what can we do?

We have a number of options:

*[[Distrobox]] (not yet packaged but follow Wiki link) allows use of software intended for any Linux distro
*Alien (available from MCC) allows installation of Debian and Slackware packages
*Virtual Machine - QEMU (available from MCC) or VirtualBox (available from MCC) can be used to create a Virtual Machine for any operating system on which the software you want to use can be executed.
*WINE (available from MCC) - allows some Microsoft Windows&trade; programs to run in a Linux environment. This Wiki author has had limited success with WINE and has typically had to use a Virtal Machine (with Windows&trade; licence) Sturmvogel

English version of Distrobox

New page

= Distrobox =

== What is Distrobox? ==
Distrobox is a powerful tool for Linux users who want to use or try out different distributions without having to reboot the system or create virtual machines. It allows you to create containers from different Linux distributions and integrate them into your host system, offering an almost native experience.

== How to install it? ==
At present, Distrobox is not available as a Mageia package. However, it is straightforward to install.

To install, simply type the following command in the terminal:
{{code|curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/89luca89/distrobox/main/install | sudo sh}}

or if you haven't set up your user to allow sudo

{{code|su <br/>
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/89luca89/distrobox/main/install | sh }}

You must have a container environment installed in order for Distrobox to work, so either docker or podman (both available from MCC)

== How does it work? ==
Distrobox uses containerization technologies such as Podman or Docker to create isolated environments. However, it goes further, sharing resources from the host system with these containers, such as:

* Home directory: Allows you to access your personal files from any distribution.
* USB devices: Allows you to use external devices inside containers.
* Audio: Allows you to play audio and use microphones.
* X11/Wayland: Allows you to run applications with a graphical interface.

== Why use Distrobox? ==

* Software not available in Mageia: Execute software in the Mageia graphical environment where the software's package cannot be installed in Mageia itself.
* Try out different distributions: Without having to install each one on a separate machine.
* Isolation: Protect your host system from potential problems caused by a specific distribution (note that the degree of protection depends on which of docker or podman you employ with Distrobox).
* Flexibility: Install and run applications from different distributions on the same system.
* Resource sharing: Make it easier to work between different distributions.

== Main commands ==

* distrobox-create: Creates a new container with a specific distribution.

* distrobox-enter: Enters a running container.

* distrobox-list: Lists all created containers.

* distrobox-rm: Removes a container.

* distrobox-stop: Stops a running container.

* distrobox-export: Exports applications or services from a container to the host.

* distrobox-init: Entry point to a container.

* distrobox-host-exec: Executes commands on the host from within a container.

= Basic example (Distro testing) =
To create a container with the Arch Linux distribution and enter it:

{{code|distrobox-create archlinux <br/>
distrobox-enter archlinux }}

= Non-native package example (Amazon Workspaces client) =
{{code|distrobox create --image ubuntu:22.04 --name ubuntu <br/>
distrobox enter ubuntu <br/>
sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop -y <br/>
wget https://d3nt0h4h6pmmc4.cloudfront.net/new_workspacesclient_jammy_amd64.deb <br/>
sudo apt install ./new_workspacesclient_jammy_amd64.deb -y <br/>
distrobox-export --app workspacesclient <br/> }}
