About

Kontainer is a graphical user interface (GUI) application built with KDE Kirigami that provides a user-friendly way to manage Distrobox containers.

Container Management: Create new containers from various Linux distributions, delete existing containers, upgrade containers and list and view all containers.

Terminal Integration: Open terminal sessions inside containers using the system default terminal emulator and execute commands within containers.

Package Management: Install package files inside containers and automatic detection of appropriate package managers based on container distribution.

Desktop Integration: Generate desktop shortcuts for containers, full integration with the host system through Distrobox and color-coded container listing based on distribution.
