Toolship: A (More) Secure Workstation
I'm running silverblue but running my containers through distrobox. Both toolbox and distrobox are running on podman under the hood, so it's the same technology as far as I understand. However, distrobox has some interesting features relevant to this idea of development isolation. One is that it has an assemble feature[1] built-in. Where you can feed it a recipe file and it will build or rebuild containers accordingly. The other is that it allows setting a custom home directory for the container, among other host/container isolating options[2].
Perfomance wise my containers take a couple MiB of rams and no perceptible CPU usage when not in use. At least as far as I can tell.

Would it be technically possible for an arch server to build and serve aur packages to other machines/distros?
Any reason why you couldn't use something like distrobox?

Getting VS Codium setup properly with Flatpak without defeating the purpose of Flatpak?
outside of having to keep them updated, it's the same packages, same build infrastructure, same signing methods, etc... i wouldn't lose sleep over it.

How do I install a downloaded appimage (in localhost downloads) within a toolbox? Fedora Silverblue 38
Distrobox allows me to export the app/binary found within the container to the host, so that I can find it in my 'app-drawer' together with all my other apps/binaries. While this is technically doable on Toolbx, it isn't done with just a single command.
I'll just copy-paste the commands I used to get it to work and provide them with some commentary when needed; these are found at the very end of this comment. I'll be using Distrobox instead of Toolbx as it suits my needs better. * mkdir ~/Desktop/Distrobox/Obsidian : [1] * distrobox create --image registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:37 --name Obsidian --home ~/Desktop/Distrobox/Obsidian : [2] * distrobox enter Obsidian * sudo dnf upgrade * sudo dnf install fuse-libs fuse nss atk at-spi2-atk cups-libs gtk3 : [3] * cd /home/user/Downloads/ * chmod +x Obsidian-1.3.5.AppImage : [4] * ./Obsidian-1.3.5.AppImage
