[Discussion] Possibly add Manjaro to list of compatible container distros?

[stendler]

I've been using docker.io/manjarolinux/base:latest (dockerhub,github) for a while now (and distrobox really helped me, accessing and using a backup from a different host).

Even starting with systemd using --init worked for me when I tried that.

Caveats (found so far)

missing wheels group in sudoers

While the user is added to the wheels group, it is not properly set in the sudoers. Running something as root via sudo works in the container, but a login shell (even as the same user) via sudo -l $USER fails - especially noticeable when trying to run a desktop file that was exported via distrobox-export --app.

Workaround: init-hook with sed -i 's/# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL/%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL/' /etc/sudoers

distrobox upgrade currently fails for me

It has worked before, but right now fails for me with

``` warning: could not get file information for srv/ftp/ warning: could not get file information for srv/http/ error: Partition /etc/hosts is mounted read only error: not enough free disk space error: failed to commit transaction (not enough free disk space) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. Error: An error occurred ``` The `filesystems` package in combination with `CheckSpace` in `/etc/pacman.conf` was causing the issue. Disabling `CheckSpace` resolves this issue.

It works for another manjaro container, so probably due to some package installed afterwards.
Otherwise, a workaround possibly is to pull the latest image and recreate the container.

Workarounds are not a good thing, and for a container, Arch Linux is much better. Hope this helps!
