Is it possible to create a Toolbox with its own separate home directory?

I do think so, too. Here is an issue in toolbox for that, actually:

I like to use several toolboxes, with different content. To properly distinguish… these, I'd like to mount them in subdirectories (e.g. container1:/home/user -> host:/var/home/user/container1). It's a similar thing to #183 , but not as security- centric. Is there a way to achieve this at the moment / via consistent workaround (I don't want to change a line of code and after the next update I'm saving files somewhere else ;) )? Update: I wouldn't actually mind (maybe even appreciate) having these under different user-contexts - but in the same general directory. That way there is a clear distinction and separation. For presenting this to the end- user in a "nice way", one could add an extra link opening the file-browser as sudo... (just thinking loud here) Thanks in advance, Chris
