distrobox ephemeral
distrobox ephemeral creates a temporary distrobox that is automatically destroyed
when the command is terminated.
It accepts the same flags as distrobox create (except --no-entry and
--compatibility, which are not relevant for a throwaway container), plus
-e/--exec to mark the start of the command to run inside the container
(the bare -- separator works too).
distrobox ephemeral
--/-e/--exec: end arguments execute the rest as command to execute at login default: default ${USER}'s shell
--root/-r: launch podman/docker/lilipod 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
--version/-V: show version
All other flags are inherited from distrobox-create.
