What is dawbox ?

Dawbox is a project leveraging Cloud Native technologies to provide a ready-to-go Audio Production environment. Its intended use-case is on Fedora Atomic and its derivatives like Universal Blue, though any Linux system with Distrobox will work :)

Requirements

You will need:

• Podman
• Distrobox
• To be comfortable opening a terminal and running the install script in CLI

Setup

Open your terminal of choice and run:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Messaiga/DAWbox/refs/heads/main/install.sh -o install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh

• Select 1 to check if dawbox is installed.
• Select 2 to install dawbox.
• Select 3 to update dawbox.
• Select 4 to remove dawbox.
• Select 5 to exit.

After first run you may have to run this inside of the box for fonts to work in certain programs:

sudo fc-cache -Ers
