NAME

distrobox−host−exec

DESCRIPTION

distrobox−host−exec lets one execute command on the host, while inside of a container.

Under the hood, distrobox−host−exec uses host−spawn a project that lets us execute commands back on the host. If the tool is not found the user will be prompted to install it.

SYNOPSIS

Just pass to “distrobox−host−exec” any command and all its arguments, if any.

−−help/−h: show this message
−−verbose/−v: show more verbosity
−−version/−V: show version
−−yes/−Y: Automatically answer yes to prompt:
host−spawn will be installed on the guest system
if host−spawn is not detected.
This behaviour is default when running in a non−interactive shell.

If no command is provided, it will execute “$SHELL”.

Alternatively, use symlinks to make distrobox−host−exec execute as that command:

~$: ln −s /usr/bin/distrobox−host−exec /usr/local/bin/podman
~$: ls −l /usr/local/bin/podman
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 51 Jul 11 19:26 /usr/local/bin/podman −> /usr/bin/distrobox−host−exec
~$: podman version
...this is executed on host...

EXAMPLES

distrobox−host−exec ls
distrobox−host−exec bash −l
distrobox−host−exec flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox
distrobox−host−exec podman ps −a
