chore: purge all the default container configuration

[tulilirockz]

I believe these are all the references to the Bluefin-CLI container. Probably should not be merged right now? Maybe disabiling the service files then deleting the references seems like the best approach, as Jorge said.

The updated title is just a joke! We talked about this on discord and it seems like it would be best to just get rid of the default containers and stuff

From Jorge:

I'm thinking total purge -
I'd rather spend more time removing as much as we can and then documenting what we have, lean and mean.
the quadlets are in the toolbox repos already

Affects stuff like #1834 and #1881

So I don't mean to hijack this PR. But, looks like the profile setup for ptyxis changed, and now that we have more users people are getting confused.

It might be worth to just rip all of these out and just ship distrobox/boxbuddy blank out of the box:

• our images are listed in boxbuddy now anyway
• new users: less footguns
• pro users: know how to container

[tulilirockz]

Just converted this into a draft cuz this PR seems kinda big and probably needs a lot more confirmation from everyone

[tulilirockz]

I agressively just removed everything related to those default containers, please tell me if you guys dont want something removed!!

Im just wondering about the podmansh.container file in /usr/share/ublue-os/quadlet and /usr/bin/bluefinbox-enter. Should those be removed too?

[tulilirockz]

After testing it a bit, this seems fine? Nothing seems to have broken, nothing seems to have changed majorly, my vm seems completely ok and happy

[tulilirockz]

Although that ptyxis-create-profile command doesnt seem to be working too well if Ptyxis's dconf keys get reset. It just errors out trying to set transparency since it cant read the default profile uuid off of dconf

I think we can land this after the conflicts get resolved, and then I'll remove this section from the docs, thanks!

Oh! I didnt even like see the conflicts here LOL i was just editing stuff directly on the my local copy. Sorry! Ill resolve them rn

[tulilirockz]

Hopefully this should be good now

Are the containers themselves being depreciated or just the bluefin default integration? If it's just the default integration could this be left in the dx version or convert setup to ujust scripts?

I was a bit caught of guard when #1908 ripped out the bluefin-cli after an updated and it's a but unclear if the container's being depreciated or just the bluefin integration.

[m2Giles]

What's specifically being deprecated is the ephemeral containers that we shipped on ctrl+alt+f and ctrl+alt+u (fedora/ubuntu)

[m2Giles]

The only other thought I have, is that the user's targets for the quadlets are going to just still be there. I'm hesitant to auto clean them up in case someone goes the same route for enabling them.

Additionally, we should probably update the distrobox.ini files in toolboxes in case people want to consume with distrobox's ability to use assemble with a url now.

Specifically, there were targets for the following:
ubuntu-toolbox.target
fedora-toolbox.target
bluefin-cli.target
wolfi-toolbox.target
bluefin-cli-dx.target
wolfi-dx-toolbox.target

@tulilirockz I noticed that after your branch updates it seems to be missing the custom2 vs custom3 in the keybindings again. Just to let you know ❤️

oh great. :p

You applied the commit via my review, that is probably why the commit is missing now. Probably need to commit it again by yourself

This is looking good. My only hesitations are cleaning up the old targets and using the name Host for the profile.

Instead I think all of the ptyxis profile manipulation can be ripped out. You should be able to use uuid for the shortcut and it will then just open whatever that profile is configured with.

[tulilirockz]

We also shoukd change the build script orders too since the 06 script got removed - I dont think this should be done in this PR since itll bring merge conflicts unnecessarily AFAIK

Do you think that should be done here? It does bring out the scope a bit - still, great idea! Cleaning up the old targets dont seem like such a huge problem, as this is mostly targeted at new systems that dont have those targets yet, if someone actually notices that those are running, they can remove/disable them on their own I think.

[tulilirockz]

sorry thought rebasing wouldnt disable auto-merge

[xlionjuan]

May I ask how to let "Ephemeral Containers" works again?
