DESCRIPTION

9       Init the distrobox (not to be launched manually)
10
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.
14
15       This  is  not  intended  to  be used manually, but instead used by dis‐
16       trobox-create to set up the container’s entrypoint.
17
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
20       ensure the tight integration.
