    I set up a very straightforward Godot dev environment yesterday using toolbox which is built on top of rootless Podman.

    • Create a new fedora toolbox
    • Enter toolbox
    • Install DotNet dependencies, git, etc with dnf
    • Install Godot binary from release page
    • Turns out there were other dependencies I needed
    • Godot wanted a few Wayland libs on the container, so I installed Weston (maybe overkill)
    • Godot wanted libxrandr so I added that too
    • Godot just works ™

    The nice thing about toolbox is that it uses my native host Wayland compositor. So whatever I have running in the toolbox can be interacted normally through sway (my host WM).

    You can either distribute a container image with your given toolbox configured, or just document the setup steps.
