specify it through the DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM env variable, or 'distrobox_sudo_program' config variable) --verbose/-v: show more verbosity --help/-h: show this message --/-e: end arguments execute the rest as command to execute at login default: bash -l --version/-V: show version

EXAMPLES

distrobox-ephemeral --image alpine:latest -- cat /etc/os-release
distrobox-ephemeral --root --verbose --image alpine:latest --volume /opt:/opt
