Building the Perfect Tools Container

 

A lot of the trouble folks have with the transition to thinking about containers comes from the fact that the usual toolbox of Linux tools aren't included in container images, nor are they rolled into the slimmed down host Linux. Instead of trying to shoehorn necessary work and maintenance tools into existing into the host or into an application container, the preferred method is to create specific containers for those development tools. To this end, the toolbox container project, formerly known as the fedora-toolbox can help you build out a solution to your tooling problems.
