How do you manage your Toolbx on system upgrade?

Hi, I’ve been running Fedora Silverblue since version 39 and with 41 now releasing I feel like it would be wise to finally upgrade my Toolbx container from 39 to 41 too. I didn’t change the container when I upgraded to 40 on the OS. I read a bit online and it seemed like the general opinion was that you shouldn’t upgrade containers but rather create a new container with the new version.

How do you manage migrating settings (Codium + Extensions, Toolchains etc.) between containers without having to manually recreate everything?

So this isn’t really an answer on how to migrate but this solution has worked well for me.

I define the toolboxes config with it, and if it gets destroyed, recreating it is as simple as creating a new one with the same name. You could upgrade or downgrade by just creating a new toolbox with the version you want.

I’m just using Arch in my toolbox. Can’t run into upgrade troubles if you run a rolling release system
