RHEA-2023:7308 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An updated rhel8/toolbox container image is now available in the Red Hat container registry.

Description

The rhel8/toolbox container image can be used with Toolbox to obtain RHEL based containerized command line environments to aid with development and software testing. Toolbox is built on top of Podman and other standard container technologies from OCI.

This updates the rhel8/toolbox image in the Red Hat container registry.

To pull this container image, run one of the following commands:

podman pull registry.redhat.io/rhel8/toolbox (authenticated)
podman pull registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/toolbox (unauthenticated)

Solution

The container image provided by this update can be downloaded from the Red Hat container registry at registry.redhat.io or registry.access.redhat.com using the "podman pull" command.
