Support for FHS Environments #2064

Open sealor opened 1 month ago

sealor commented 1 month ago

What problem are you trying to solve?

I want to use tools which require a "normal" Linux filesystem (FHS).

What solution would you like?

I would like to define an FHS environment in devbox.json which is built and run when calling devbox shell.

Alternatives you've considered

The alternative solution is to use nix itself with pkgs.buildFHSEnv. But this is much more complicated.

See https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/builders/special/fhs-environments/#sec-fhs-environments

Hey @sealor, thank you for requesting this! Can you share some more details about the tool or usecase that requires a Linux FHS w/ Devbox? This would help us prioritize this against other feature requests.
