This change adds
--volumeand--envoptions to thecontainer createcommand to allow additional podman volumes to be mounted, and environment variables to be specified, when a container is created.My main use-case for this is to allow a shared
/gnu/storevolume to be mounted into toolbox containers so I can manage packages using guix with just one copy of the store on the system. For more information on this, please see my blog post. I could imagine other uses for this, if someone wants to mount a volume outside their home directory into the toolbox container.
