GitHub - evertheylen/probox: Secure, isolated dev environments made easy

Probox is a Python utility that creates secure, isolated development environments using rootless Podman containers. It simplifies project management with features like transparent port forwarding, limited SSH access, and support for nested containers. The tool is designed to be lightweight and dependency-free for developers on Linux systems.

Key Points

• Provides a thin, dependency-free Python layer over Podman to manage rootless development containers.
• Enhances security through isolated SSH key management and transparent port/path forwarding.
• Supports Podman-in-Podman (PinP) by default, enabling nested container workflows.
• Features a simple CLI for creating environments, running commands, and syncing files between containers.
• Actively maintained for daily use with plans for automated security testing and better credential handling.
