Packages

Fedora packages come from the configured Fedora repos. Put them in your base image so every VM has them. Install in one RUN, skip weak deps for a smaller image, and clean the metadata in the same layer.

RUN dnf5 install -y --setopt=install_weak_deps=False \
        ca-certificates curl unzip tar gzip jq \
        git git-delta openssh-clients ncurses-term \
        helix chezmoi bat fzf just bubblewrap \
        python3 python3-pip python3-virtualenv pipx \
        nodejs npm \
    && dnf5 clean all

For a quick baseline:

RUN dnf5 install -y git ripgrep fd-find tmux helix git-delta && dnf5 clean all

dvm-base already installs zsh and the rootless-container dependencies, so you do not need to repeat those.

Copr

The DNF5 Copr plugin may be missing on minimal images. Quote the package name because of the parentheses.

RUN dnf5 copr --help >/dev/null 2>&1 || dnf5 install -y 'dnf5-command(copr)' \
 && dnf5 copr enable -y dejan/lazygit \
 && dnf5 copr enable -y atim/starship \
 && dnf5 install -y lazygit starship \
 && dnf5 clean all

Upgrade

To build on top of the latest packages, upgrade before installing:

RUN dnf5 upgrade -y --refresh && dnf5 clean all
