    I don’t really get the comparison to vagrant. It doesn’t seem like it feels the same role? Can distro box be used to share environments with other developers or used in CI/CD processes?

      I use it to share environments with a small team. Just have distrobox specific Docker files and we can all spin up the same distrobox environment locally.

      We end up having a different base docker file (e.g. our distrobox one has editors and stuff), but we all share the same project specific docker file. That same project specific file gets used in CI/CD and deployment, but with a minimal base. So all in all, I would say it’s even better than Vagrant because we run the same system in production.
