Allow for custom location of home directory on the host

[JayDoubleu]

Currently toolbox will default to your home directory. Because of this I cannot use toolbox for other purposes (isolated, work projects etc). I love the automatic integration with X as well as automatically mounting /dev for me however I believe having option to specify custom $HOME path for container would be a very useful feature.

I would like to be able to specify custom $HOME path for each toolbox container on the host so that there is no conflicting config files for cloud environments such as Azure or AWS, python modules etc. Ideally if we would have something like .toolboxrc file in which we could define custom configurations for tagged containers and allow tagging when using toolbox create command?.

I am aware that I could create podman containers with CMDlines from toolbox however I believe it would be more convenient to have this functionality within toolbox itself.

You could try looking at podenv, though it is a more general tool than toolbox.
I do have a copr repo if you are on Fedora.

Wow ! I didn't know it existed, looks exactly like what I've been looking for. Going to try it out. Thanks !

Yes, this keeps coming up from time to time.

Unfortunately, I am afraid that it's not very high on our list of priorities at the moment.
