This project adds linux desktop entries for applications installed inside containers! Support for toolbox is implemented, but podman and docker will need some testing (feel free to submit PRs!)

NOTE: Requires: https://github.com/ryanabx/desktop-entry-daemon

systemctl --user enable container-desktop-entries

Reboot after installing!

Configuring clients to get entries from is done in $HOME/.config/container-desktop-entries/containers.conf:

Example configuration (lines of [container name] [container type]):

fedora-toolbox-39 toolbox
fedora-toolbox-40 toolbox
my-podman-container podman
docker-linux-name docker
