Define image test suite - functionality that's expected to work in toolbox images

[Jmennius]

I am willing to work on Debian and Ubuntu images and I would like to have some kind of a checklist of functionality that is expected to work in toolbox images.
I do not use toolbox actively yet so it is hard for me to define, some things are relatively obvious like home directory, DNS resolver, GUI apps - what else?

Hi @Jmennius! There is a section in the README called Image Requirements.

Hey @HarryMichal!

The Image Requirements section looks more about the toolbox tool itself (its dependencies basically?).

What I want to clarify is a set of functionality that the user of a toolbox container can/should expect of it (so that we could align it between distributions).
For example, in Fedora images we have git, tree, flatpak-spawn, gnupg, tracerout, tcpdump, etc added - I want some minimal formal description of that so that I can prepare an equivalent for Debian/Ubuntu (so that it wouldn't be random or just what I like/use, you know).

The definition of the Dockerfile (which is I suspect what you really want) is in the images/fedora directory. You should be able to translate that to Debian and Ubuntu.

I see now what you're saying, @Jmennius. You can take a look at Toolbox's .spec file. There are two extra packages defined that hold the packages that we need/want in a toolbox image: toolbox-support and toolbox-experience. Funnily enough, even though those two exist, they are not used in the Dockerfiles used for creating fedora-toolbox images but they use their own textfiles that hold the same list of packages. I want to fix that in the near future.

Sounds great!
I'll try to align #483.
