An OCI image, with a purpose of being used in Distrobox for gaming on. Re implementation of Ublue Steambox.

I fixed a few minor bugs and did one big change: Introduced images for other GPU vendors.


It wasn’t that hard of a task, since most of the infrastructure were already in place. The hard part was figuring out how am I going to do that and troubleshooting.


I also added a few utilities to the image, most notably Greenlight and goverlay.


There’s not that much to write about. This project is a pretty boring one.


If OCI layering didn’t work as it does, I would be using almost a terabyte of github storage to store those images (3gb per images6 images45 days image retention).


The project is officially ready to be shipped (or so I hope, the reviewers are scary /s).

I made an OCI image for gaming in distrobox. I made it mainly because I hated how imperative gaming is, and I didn't want that on my nixos system host.

---

I'm happy with how it turned up. The image is fully functional and I was easily able to integrate it to my config.

---

The hardest part of the project was by far escaping potential allegations of coping Steambox, which didn't went that good.

---

There's still room for improvement, so I might return to this project later.

I added my modpack to the image! Now Prism Launcher comes preinstalled with instance using that modpack.


I couldn’t be able to create expose scripts for lutris and heroic, mainly because I was too lazy to do that and I couldn’t find a place where those launchers would reliably put icons for the games.


With that, I consider the project complete. I’m looking forward to integrating it with my system and I don’t expect groundbreaking changes any time soon

I finally did something original!


I added a script that exposes games from the container to the host. I only got steam games working for now, but I plan to implement lutris, heroic and prism if that’s possible.

I basically finished the project, with only 4 hours on clock. Good time, considering I have no prior experience with Containerfiles, but I didn’t really had to do much work.

I basically re implemented steambox from the Ublue ecosystem, with few small tweaks.

I’m generally happy with how it turned, but I would like to have more personal things to it.

Despite almost being finished, there’re still many things I want to do, so I don’t expect to ship soon, at least not until Saturday.
