Hi!
I use a couple of containers every days and sometimes I forgot in which container I’m logged on. What is a easy why to set a default prompt that when I enter in a container with toolbox shows me the name of container?
For example, I have a container created with name dev-go, so it will be great if I could a prompt format like this:
⬢[masch@toolbox-dev-go ~]$
Thanks!
Last that I checked, I don’t think toolbox exposes the container name inside the container in any way. There was some discussion about doing that though: Offer a better way to visually distinguish between containers · Issue #98 · containers/toolbox · GitHub
If you want to do something a little hacky, you can store a file in each container that gets read into your prompt.
Thanks for the tip!
I followed the issue that you suggest me and I’ve applied the next modification on my local toolbox script and It works!!
https://github.com/containers/toolbox/pull/383
Also I applied the same fix on the new toolbox migration written on Golang and it doesn’t work.
When I enter on I get I get the following error:
[conmon:d]: failed to write to /proc/self/oom_score_adj: Permission denied

I don’t know how does it work on the toolbox script version and it doesn’t on the Golang version.
