Pacwrap
Pacwrap provides a package management front-end with libalpm to facilitate the creation of container filesystems with filesystem deduplication. Sandboxing is also provided via bubblewrap to run applications inside of these containers. CLI and GUI applications are all supported.
Example usage
To create a container, execute the following command:
$ pacwrap -Syucb --target=base
Then to launch a shell inside of this container to configure it:
$ pacwrap -Es base
And then finally, to install neovim inside of a fresh, replicable, root container:
$ pacwrap -Syucr --target=neovim neovim --target=base
More advanced examples along with further documentation of configuration can be found further elaborated upon here.
Manual
An online version of the user manual is viewable here.
Build requirements
A minimum version of Rust 1.70, with base-devel and repose packages from Arch Linux's repositories.
Distribution support
Currently only Arch Linux is supported in containers as package management is faciliated by libalpm. However, this package should be distribution agnostic, so it should be possible to use, on non-Arch-based distributions.
