This page is gold. It lays out all of the distrobox assemble api with some good examples of how to get access to things like podman and kind from inside of containers.
Especially this example.

Today I learned that you can use init_hooks to access host machine commands from inside a distrobox container. This is super handy for things that you cannot get to from inside the container and need ran outside (docker, podman, flatpak, xdg-open).
podman requires qemu-system on
❯ podman machine init Looking up Podman Machine image at quay.io/podman/machine-os:5.1 to create VM Extracting compressed file: podman-machine-default-amd64.qcow2: done Error: exec: "qemu-img": executable file not found in $PATH
The fix to this for me was to install qemu-system before podman machine init.
podman comes with a nice command for generating systemd service files (units).
I kept running into limits in the number of subuid and subgid’s I had on my system by default. As always thank the arch wiki guide for having the most comprehensive yet consice guide to setup podman.
What I needed to do to fix the error.
On void linux. Under `/etc/containers/` there is a file called `registries.conf`. It is complemented by `man 5 containers-registries.conf`. Change (for me lines 11-12) which say [registries.search] registries = [] to
[registries.search] registries = ['docker.io']
Without the above you won’t be able to use basic Various documentation (redhat blog entries, ... (drawn from https://www.projectatomic.io/blog/2018/05/podman-tls/)
podman functions. You might get errors like:man podman pages) say that dockerhub is a default, but without this step it’s clearly not.Good luck. Feel free to use the comment box below if you have a github account.
