DISTROBOX-INIT(1)                 User Manual                DISTROBOX-INIT(1)

NAME

              distrobox-init


DESCRIPTION
       Init the distrobox (not to be launched manually)

       distrobox-init is the entrypoint of a created distrobox.  Note that
       this HAS to run from inside a distrobox, will not work if you run it
       from your host.

       This is not intended to be used manually, but instead used by
       distrobox-create to set up the container's entrypoint.

       distrobox-init will take care of installing missing dependencies (eg.
       sudo), set up the user and groups, mount directories from the host to
       ensure the tight integration.
