A user might want to mount volumes to access for example the home folder as root.

This was suggested on reddit.

Write tests that are not run on samle strings but that run against the actual toolbox cli and podman

Inspiration could be taken by: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/amberol

• Default Update Settings (nothing/notify/autoupdate)
• Default home folder base location ~/.toolbox/homedir/
• Use separate home by default (yes/no)
• Handle overrides in local toolbox settings

Modify code to also allow running the tool as appimage + automatic buid.

Vendoring dependencies and uploading them in releases makes publishing on Flathub easier.

• Docker Image to build Flatpak (#29)
• Proper Description for Software Center
• Add screenshot to app manifest

Upon pressing a button to open terminal inside toolbox a terminal window should pop up and the command toolbox enter <name> should be run.

• Allow applications inside the toolbox to be updated
• Check for application updates inside of the toolbox (if enabled)
• add configuration options to toolbox settings
• add configuration options to global settings
• Automatic updates (no, notification, auto apply)

A user might want to run an application like gparted inside a toolbox as root.

This was suggested on reddit.

If the list command of a toolbox misses toolboxes that settings exist for inform the user and prompt about what to do. This can be done as an info banner or with a dialogue. The options to the user should be:

• Delete Settings
• Keep Settings (settings will be applied to a toolbox with the same name if it ever gets created again)

Expected behaviour is to only allow a single window to be open at a time. This is due to the app expecting only one instance running at a time. Otherwise settings could be overwritten.

The goal is to have one toolbx owner thread that manages the toolboxes. This means it:

• Runs commands for toolboxes
• Gives update notifications to UI components
• Recieves commands from UI

This might be more work than it seems and needs some exploration on how to do it best.

• Individual Settings (relates to #6)
• General Settings (relates to #9)

Have a toolbox settings window that stores individual settings per toolbox.

• Create struct for settings
• Connect individual settings to model
• On settings change (individual) update model and save them

When the application is run in a toolbox podman-host needs to be used to communicated with podman

• Add applications from toolbox to application menu
• Remove applications from toolbox from application menu

Dialogue on first start to set certain preferences e.g:

• Homefolder (default seperate or shared)
• Terminal program (gnome-terminal, Console, BlackBox)

• Docker image to build Flatpak
• Build flatpak in CI

• Start containers
• Stop containers
• Initialize container struct from name
• Write tests that use toolbox (moved to seperate issue #23 )
• Setup docker/podman test image
• Fix podman test image not working with toolbox (moved to seperate issue #24)

• BlackBox
• Console (org.gnome.Console)
• Konsole

• Display toolbox status (running/stopped)
• Refresh toolbox status continiously (every 10 sec, or after interaction)
• Stop toolbox
• Start Toolbox

• podman
• toolbox
• gnome-terminal (later support other terminal applications)

• Allow toolbox creation

The migration guide can be found here.

• Allow modification of base image
• Allow other "base images" images to use for toolbox creation
• Allow toolbox creation based on different base images
• Update function should have an option to update an image instead of its contents (https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/u6kdet/comment/i5c7xgo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

• Allow toolbox to use separate home folder (script exists)
• Make seperate homefolder user configurable (#6 )
• Allow users to create symbolic links between directories of seprate home and actual home directory (moved to seperate issue #33)
