	distrobox create --image alpine my-alpine-container
	distrobox create --image registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-toolbox:39 --name fedora-toolbox-39
	distrobox create --pull --image centos:stream9 --home ~/distrobox/centos9
	distrobox create --image alpine:latest --name test2 --additional-packages "git tmux vim"

	DBX_NON_INTERACTIVE=1 DBX_CONTAINER_NAME=test-alpine DBX_CONTAINER_IMAGE=alpine distrobox-create

Options:

	--image/-i:		image to use for the container	default: ${container_image_default}
	--name/-n:		name for the distrobox          default: ${container_name_default}
	--hostname:		hostname for the distrobox      default: $(uname -n)
	--pull/-p:		pull the image even if it exists locally (implies --yes)
	--yes/-Y:		non-interactive, pull images without asking
	--root/-r:		launch podman/docker/lilipod with root privileges. Note that if you need root this is the preferred
				way over "sudo distrobox" (note: if using a program other than 'sudo' for root privileges is necessary,
				specify it through the DBX_SUDO_PROGRAM env variable, or 'distrobox_sudo_program' config variable)
	--clone/-c:		name of the distrobox container to use as base for a new container
				this will be useful to either rename an existing distrobox or have multiple copies
				of the same environment.
	--home/-H:		select a custom HOME directory for the container. Useful to avoid host's home littering with temp files.
	--volume:		additional volumes to add to the container
	--additional-flags/-a:	additional flags to pass to the container manager command
	--additional-packages/-ap:	additional packages to install during initial container setup
	--init-hooks:		additional commands to execute during container initialization
	--pre-init-hooks:	additional commands to execute prior to container initialization
	--init/-I:		use init system (like systemd) inside the container.
				this will make host's processes not visible from within the container. (assumes --unshare-process)
				may require additional packages depending on the container image: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_tips.md#using-init-system-inside-a-distrobox
	--nvidia:		try to integrate host's nVidia drivers in the guest
	--unshare-devsys:          do not share host devices and sysfs dirs from host
	--unshare-groups:          do not forward user's additional groups into the container
	--unshare-ipc:          do not share ipc namespace with host
	--unshare-netns:        do not share the net namespace with host
	--unshare-process:          do not share process namespace with host
	--unshare-all:          activate all the unshare flags below
	--compatibility/-C:	show list of compatible images
	--help/-h:		show this message
	--no-entry:		do not generate a container entry in the application list
	--dry-run/-d:		only print the container manager command generated
	--verbose/-v:		show more verbosity
	--version/-V:		show version
