Minor bugfix release:

  - Debian Testing
  - Debian

  - Debian 8
  - Debian 9

Minor bugfix version

• create: should not use socket on create or there will be permission problems in the image
• init: follow shell when creating user
• enter/create: use podman socket if available
  this is a little performance optimization, if available the use of
  socket reduces podman's command execution time by a lot.

Minor feature release:

• Support Alpine linux hosts
• Support NixOS linux hosts
• Support Gentoo linux hosts
• Improve performance using podman socket if available

Feature release:

• 🎉 Addedd docker support! 🎉

  • First check if we have podman, then docker.
  • Add --headless flag. This is useful for exported app or services to not instantiate a TTY if not needed. This also is a work around for docker not being able to instantiate a TTY correctly if launched via a non-terminal command (eg: desktop apps)

• Add Slackware container support

• create: fix find command to include docker sock

• all: standardize when to do checks and set up logging

• create/enter: simplify container_manager detection

• create: include tmp and sys in volume mounts

• init: remove systemd-resolve bind mount, add udev/data

• init: create a small routine to create an RPM macro with all the bind mounts so files will not be installed there

• enter: improve container log handling

• enter: move checks outside the generate_command function. Check earlier if the container exists first. Add more comments.

• enter: performance optimization, launch only one inspect command to check both existence and status of a container

• enter: remove possible strange env variables

• export: organize the various exports as functions

• export: improve service exporting so that now works also with system services

• export: add --sudo flag to run exported item as root inside the container

• init: fix id/gid error in group creation

• init: remove shellcheck exception, set a default mountflag

• init: we do not need to mess with sudo/wheel groups, we add the user directly into sudoers. Simplify the process.

Minor fixes release:

• export: ensure applications user dir exists
• create: fix reduntant mountpoint
• create: mount host's root filesystem as whole, not single directories
• init/export: check if we're in a container earlier
• fix some typos
• improve outputs for the users
• add new tested hosts, distrobox is now tested and verified working on
  - OpenSUSE Leap 15 and Tubleweed
  - Arch
  - Manjaro
  - Fedora Silverblue 34 and 35
  - EndlessOS 4.0.0
  - OpenSUSE MicroOS

Bugfix and tweaks release:

• create: use a less podman-centric way to check if an image is already pulled
• eport: use hostname to get container name
• create: remove unused flags
• restore theme/icons integration removed in version 1.0.2:
  - init: reintroduce themes and icon integration, Fix #15
  - init: work with bind mounts for icons/themes to not litter the home with broken symlinks on the host
  - export: ensure we work with host's folders when exporting
• enter: workdir should be set to pwd, default to home if not defined. Fix #25
• create: fix devpts ownership
• distro: add Void Linux support

Feature release:

• better posix compatibility

Small bugfixes release:

• init: check if file exists before linking and link it's realpath

Bug Fix release:

• init: add some missing comments

Small style, formatting and bug fix release:

• actions: add shellcheck linter action
