Hi @chiddekel I've been using my own custom built toolboxes for quite awhile and it works great.

It's documented how to create your own and you can have the flexibility to have any distro you choose.

toolbox-create manual might be more clear in the OPTIONS section.

IIUC, --distro currently supports only Fedora and RHEL, see here. A command option to list the currently supported distros would be helpful IMO.

So the --image option is useful also to create containers for distros not currently supported by toolbox. This might be obvious to you but not to the common user like me. or building a toolbox container from an ubuntu docker image is not guaranteed to work fine?

This sentence might be improved:

--image NAME, -i NAME

Change the NAME of the base image used to create the toolbox container. This is useful for creating containers from custom-built base images.
