feat(toolbox) Allow custom Volume mounts Allow Toolbox users to set custom volume mounts and have sensible defaults. Tools like sysdig expect volumes to be mounted to set directories which are not compatible with the hard coded defaults.
toolbox is a small script that launches a container to let you bring in your favorite debugging or admin tools.
$ /usr/bin/toolbox Spawning container core-fedora-latest on /var/lib/toolbox/core-fedora-latest. Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container. -bash-4.3# yum install tcpdump ... -bash-4.3# tcpdump -i ens3 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on ens3, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
toolbox uses a Fedora-based userspace environment by default, but this can be changed to any Docker image. Simply override environment variables in $HOME/.toolboxrc:
core@core-01 ~ $ cat ~/.toolboxrc TOOLBOX_DOCKER_IMAGE=ubuntu-debootstrap TOOLBOX_DOCKER_TAG=14.04 core@core-01 ~ $ toolbox Spawning container core-ubuntu-debootstrap-14.04 on /var/lib/toolbox/core-ubuntu-debootstrap-14.04. Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container. root@core-01:~# apt-get update && apt-get install tcpdump
Set an /etc/passwd entry for one of the users to /usr/bin/toolbox:
useradd bob -m -p '*' -s /usr/bin/toolbox -U -G sudo,docker
Now when SSHing into the system as that user, toolbox will automatically be started:
$ ssh bob@hostname.example.com CoreOS alpha (633.1.0) ... Spawning container core-fedora-latest on /var/lib/toolbox/core-fedora-latest. -bash-4.3 # yum install emacs -bash-4.3 # emacs /media/root/etc/systemd/system/docker.service
