README.md

BoxBuddy

An unofficial GUI for managing your Distroboxes. Written with GTK4 + Libadwaita.

Note that this does not come with Podman or Distrobox, those will need to be installed on the host.

Installing

Flatpak

Local Binary

Visit the releases section
Download and unzip the release
Execute ./install.sh

Developing

Boxbuddy is written with Rust using Gtk4 and Libadwaita.

Building Flatpak

Install flatpak-builder
./singlefile.sh
flatpak install --user boxbuddy.flatpak

Running Locally

Install gtk4 development packages - check your distro for something like gtk4-devel or gtk-dev, etc.
Install rustup
Use the standard cargo run / cargo build workflow

Issues & Feature Requests

Feature requests are welcome! Please check the roadmap to see if a feature is already planned.

When filing issues, please keep in mind that BoxBuddy is just a GUI, and I am not a developer of Distrobox itself. Any issues with created boxes are probably better logged upstream.
