11 distrobox-init is the entrypoint of a created distrobox. Note that
12 this HAS to run from inside a distrobox, will not work if you run it
13 from your host.

15 This is not intended to be used manually, but instead used by dis‐
16 trobox-create to set up the container’s entrypoint.

18 distrobox-init will take care of installing missing dependencies (eg.
19 sudo), set up the user and groups, mount directories from the host to
