Sandboxes

Isolated developer workspaces built on Distrobox, with ready-made stack templates.

Genesi Sandboxes (genesi-sandboxes) gives you isolated developer workspaces backed by Distrobox, with ready-made templates for common stacks — so you can spin up a clean environment without polluting your host system.

Why use it

  • Keep project toolchains (languages, SDKs, system libraries) isolated from the base system and from each other.
  • Start from a template instead of configuring a container from scratch.
  • Your home directory is shared, so files move freely between host and sandbox.

Install

sudo pacman -S genesi-sandboxes

Sandboxes use Distrobox (containers), so a working container runtime is required. Genesi integrates with Docker/Podman — see Containers.

Package Installer

One-click setup for apps, gaming, and local AI on Genesi OS.

Containers

Monitor and control Docker and Podman containers from a Plasma widget.
