Toolbox image for Rawhide (F34)

Hi,

I was testing toolbox in a VM (virtual machine) with Fedora Rawhide (which when I created the VM it was Fedora 33) and I realized that the Fedora release has changed. I created a new Rawhide VM and now it says that it’s Fedora 34.

Anyway, I tried to create a toolbox’s container and I couldn’t because there is no official image for Fedora 34

So, I created an unofficial image for Fedora 34, so anyone that is on Rawhide can create new toolbox containers.
I used the same configuration that the official images, but with the new Fedora version.

As the Fedora registry was failing a bit the last weeks, I had created a personal mirror of the official images, so I added the new image there:
https://hub.docker.com/r/juanje/fedora-toolbox

You can create a toobox’s container, using this image, with the following:

$ toolbox create --image docker.io/juanje/fedora-toolbox:34

Or:

$ toolbox create --image docker.io/juanje/fedora-toolbox:34 --container some-name

I’m sure the new official image will be available soon, but meanwhile, I hope this is useful.

BTW, if you find yourself without been able to run the command sudo with no password inside the (F34) container, it’s a known bug for Toolbox on Fedora 33 and 34:

github.com/containers/toolbox

sudo(8) inside toolbox containers asks for a password with Podman 2.0.5

When using toolbox on F33 Silverblue rawhide, entering a newly created toolbox r…esults in an error as follows ... /usr/bin/id: cannot find name for group ID 1000 Inside of toolbox, when issuing a command sudoer privileges are required for, such as dnf like so ... sudo dnf install vim-enhanced terminator results in the following prompt to the user ... We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. then, if I enter the user password the result is password attempt failure ... [sudo] password for ssnow: Sorry, try again. [sudo] password for ssnow: Sorry, try again. This issue was originally reported at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/toolbox-and-root/22123/29 and I originally thought the users system must be broken in some way. That was until I installed a fresh rawhide version of Silverblue. IMO, it may relate to the first message I get when entering the toolbox container. Perhaps not mapping the user as the root of the container.
