DISTROBOX-EPHEMERAL(1)

NAME

    distrobox ephemeral
    distrobox-ephemeral

DESCRIPTION

distrobox-ephemeral creates a temporary distrobox that is automatically destroyed when the command is terminated.

SYNOPSIS

distrobox ephemeral

    --root/-r:      launch podman/docker with root privileges. Note that if you need root this is the preferred
                way over "sudo distrobox" (note: if using a program other than 'sudo' for root privileges is necessary,
                specify it through the DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM env variable, or 'distrobox_sudo_program' config variable)
    --verbose/-v:       show more verbosity
    --help/-h:      show this message
    --/-e:          end arguments execute the rest as command to execute at login   default: bash -l
    --version/-V:       show version

EXAMPLES

    distrobox-ephemeral --image alpine:latest -- cat /etc/os-release
    distrobox-ephemeral --root --verbose --image alpine:latest --volume /opt:/opt

You can also use flags from distrobox-create to customize the ephemeral container to run.
