using Podman with Distrobox and Debian stable
Podman is similar to Docker - it is a daemonless engine designed to run containers.
Distrobox is a wrapper (collection of scripts) to tightly integrate Podman containers with your host OS.
tl;dr this basically sets up MATLAB within a Debian inside a container and forwards the GUI windows to the host. Thanks to Distrobox, we also share the home directory, and can thus smoothly work within directory of the host OS.
But why?
This is a quick image-cache hijacking workaround to patch the local container without migrating volumes or waiting for the upstream release. It restores the s6-overlay entrypoint correctly so the add-on boots normally.
The Supervisor will automatically wipe this custom image and pull the official one once the maintainers release the patched update.
1. SSH access to the HA OS host on port 22222. (refer to the docs https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/debugging/#enabling-ssh-access-to-the-host )
