In Fedora, there is the Fedora Tools container [1], in RHEL, there is the RHEL Tools container. I don't envision either of those going away because they allow you to do all kinds of fancy stuff including things that require kernel compatibility, like SystemTap, core dumps, etc.

I am a product manager for containers/rhel/CoreOS at Red Hat, and I very much foresee a similar container for Red Hat CoreOS which will provide similar functionality for troubleshooting kernel, and user space (aka other containers) problems.

I don't think you need to worry about toolbox going anywhere as it's already Fedora based, haha!

Oh I had forgotten that ! But I'm not worrying about fedora inside my toolbox but about my toolbox inside fedora ^^

Thanks for bringing this up, this one had dropped off my radar.

I do think that the simple concept of having `toolbox` installed by default is a powerful one, and while we should revisit some of the details I'd say we should carry this one forward.

Have you built much scripting up on top of it, or is it just having it available for interactive use?

Oh thanks !

Not much scripting, just a personalised image on Docker Hub and an alias on my dev machine to push "navaati/toolbox" in the .toolboxrc on machines (but that's just a small convenience).
