Fedora Silverblue 36 was installed from installation media. The dnf container through toolbox had never been run, until just now, after upgrading the system image to Fedora 37.
Presently, the command fails, as seen in the following console capture:
$ toolbox run dnf
Error: container fedora-toolbox-37 not found
Use the 'create' command to create a toolbox.
Run 'toolbox --help' for usage.
The VERSION field is given as “37.20221117.0 (Silverblue)” in the file /etc/os-release.
Am I mistaken to expect a container called dnf be provided as a feature of the base system?
The documentation has indicated that the given command is the preferred way to invoke dnf subcommands such as search. Is the ability to run it as such available from any empty container, or is particular provisioning required?
Yep you’d have misunderstood it. dnf can only be run inside the container. Additionally, you may use other distros inside the container (it should be “stated” when creating a container).
The official documentation link I shared above will be very helpful to you. Good luck
