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.
