Install Davinci Resolve in Fedora 37 toolbox
# Based on https://github.com/fat-tire/resolve ... this didn't work for me, but helped me get on track.
# On your host, you may need to install the nvidia-container-runtime package
# On Universal Blue (ublue.it) images, this is already done for you.
sudo dnf install nvidia-container-runtime
# Edit /etc/nvidia-container-runtime/config.toml and set no-cgroups = true
# Set up your toolbox
toolbox create --release 37
toolbox enter fedora-toolbox-37
# Enable nvidia and cuda in the toolbox
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
# Install dependencies for resolve
sudo dnf install apr apr-util librsvg2 libxkbcommon-x11 mesa-libGLU xcb-util xcb-util-image xcb-util-keysyms xcb-util-renderutil xcb-util-wm libxcrypt-compat
# Run the resolve installer without libfuse (required because of container constraints)
./DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.4_Linux.run --appimage-extract
cd squashfs-root/
sudo ./AppRun -i -a -y
# Now resolve is installed in your fedora 37 toolbox
