sudo emerge -av nvidia-container-toolkit
restart docker service:
sudo systemctl restart docker
Create and setup /etc/cdi:
mkdir -p /etc/cdi
nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml
Check if its working:
nvidia-ctk cdi list
Configure docker to use NVIDIA runtime:
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker
Restart docker service again:
sudo systemctl restart docker
Before creating distrobox container, lets just perfrom basic check if nvidia is avaiable in docker:
docker run --rm --device=nvidia.com/gpu=all ubuntu nvidia-smi
If this shows your Nvidia driver and info about your gpu, than it works.
distrobox create -i quay.io/fedora/fedora:43 -n fbox -H ~/home-fbox --additional-flags "--device=nvidia.com/gpu=all"
sudo nvidia-smi
This should also give info about your nvidia gpu and its driver.
stat -c "%g" /dev/nvidia0
This will show a number, e.g. 27.

If you run a KDE application (like Krusader) inside a Distrobox container on an XFCE host with a dark theme, you might notice that the icons are dark and nearly invisible against the dark background. This happens because the app inherits a mismatched icon theme from the host, and no Qt platform theme manager is configured inside the container.
First, enter your container and install the required packages:
distrobox enter abox
sudo pacman -S papirus-icon-theme qt6ct
Note: check whether your KDE app links against Qt5 or Qt6 before choosing between qt5ct and qt6ct:
ldd $(which krusader) | grep -i qt
Next, tell Qt to use qt6ct as the platform theme. In fish shell, set it as a universal variable so it persists across sessions:
set -Ux QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME qt6ct
Then configure the theme and icons by editing the qt6ct config directly:
mkdir -p ~/.config/qt6ct
cat > ~/.config/qt6ct/qt6ct.conf << 'EOF'
[Appearance]
icon_theme=Papirus-Dark
style=Breeze
EOF
Finally, set up kdeglobals so KDE apps pick up the correct color scheme and icon theme:
cat > ~/.config/kdeglobals << 'EOF'
[General]
ColorScheme=BreezeDark
[KDE]
widgetStyle=Breeze
[Icons]
Theme=Papirus-Dark
EOF
Open a fresh container session and launch your KDE app — the icons and theme should now render correctly.

If you use Nix and want a reproducible Go development environment with VSCodium as your editor, a shell.nix file is the cleanest way to get there. The configuration below sets up a full Go toolchain — including the gopls language server, the delve debugger, linters, and code-generation utilities — alongside VSCodium pre-loaded with the official Go extension, GitLens, error highlighting, and a REST client. CGO is enabled together with gcc and sqlite, so packages like go-sqlite3 that rely on C bindings compile without issues. A step-by-step status log is printed during initialisation so you always know what the shell is doing while it loads. All dependencies are pinned to your nixpkgs channel, so every team member or machine gets an identical environment simply by running nix-shell. Once inside the shell, open your project with codium . and everything is ready to go.

Distrobox lets you run any Linux distribution as a container and integrate it into your host system. But if your host is Void Linux, getting a systemd-based box like Arch to boot correctly takes a bit of extra work.
Void uses runit as its init system, not systemd. When you create a distrobox with --init and ask for a systemd container, it will hang forever printing:
waiting for systemd to come up... waiting for systemd to come up... waiting for systemd to come up...
Even after fixing the cgroup setup (which also requires attention on a non-systemd host), systemd inside the container will fail on several units that try to mount kernel filesystems — things like binfmt_misc, hugepages, and sys-kernel-debug. These units make no sense inside a container and will block the boot sequence.
The solution is to mask those units at creation time, before systemd ever tries to start them. The --init-hooks flag runs a shell command during container setup, so we can pre-create the /dev/null symlinks that systemctl mask would normally create:
distrobox create -i archlinux -n abox -H ~/home-abox --init --additional-packages "systemd" --additional-flags "--privileged" --init-hooks "mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system && for u in proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount sys-kernel-debug.mount sys-kernel-tracing.mount dev-hugepages.mount systemd-firstboot.service systemd-udevd.service; do ln -sf /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/\$u; done"
The --privileged flag gives systemd the capabilities it needs to manage its own cgroup namespace. The hook symlinks all the container-hostile units to /dev/null, which is exactly what masking does — just without needing systemctl to be running yet.
systemctl mask may not work reliably. Writing symlinks directly achieves the same result and works unconditionally.After running this command, distrobox enter abox will boot straight through into a fully working Arch Linux shell with a live systemd instance — on a Void Linux host running runit.
"/" is not a shared mount, this could cause issues or missing mounts with rootless containers
Just add
mount --make-rshared /
to your /etc/rc.local
