Containerization

If you'd like to run containers on your OhMyDebn installation, you can use Docker or Podman. You can also install Distrobox which can use either Docker or Podman.

Docker

To install Docker, launch the OhMyDebn menu and then select Install - Containerization - Docker.

Your user is not automatically added to the docker group, since membership in that group is effectively passwordless root: any process running as you could use it to rewrite the host as root with no password prompt. Use sudo docker ... instead. If you understand the risk and want the convenience of running docker without sudo, you can opt in yourself:

sudo usermod -aG docker "$USER"

Then log out and back in for the change to take effect.

Podman

To install Podman, launch the OhMyDebn menu and then select Install - Containerization - Podman.

Distrobox

Distrobox allows you to use any Linux distro inside your terminal. It does this using containers and can use either Docker or Podman.

To install Distrobox, launch the OhMyDebn menu and then select Install - Containerization - Distrobox.
