Boxi v6.1
Terminal emulator for Toolbox
From Flathub, not verified with cpak
This app comes from Flathub and has not been tested with cpak yet. cpak checks it against the Flathub signing key and runs it in its own sandbox, without Flatpak on the system, but some features may not work. How Flathub apps work in cpak
This is a thought-experiment app based around the idea of having a terminal emulator running in a separate container from the session inside of it, with the kernel as the only intermediary.
This is accomplished by means of file descriptor passing of the pseudo-terminal device from a small "agent" program running on the other side of a container boundary. The agent is started using the usual container tools (flatpak-spawn, toolbox, podman), but creating a session is done purely via sockets.
Boxi uses different application identifiers when it is run for different containers. This allows creating individual launcher icons for each container.
