tmux config for bitbake HOME in kas-container

[Jörg Sommer]

Hi,

Yocto uses tmux for devshell and menuconfig of linux-yocto and busybox. Is
it possible to add a `~/.tmux.conf` for the bitbake HOME in a kas-container
to customise tmux?

You can pass --preserve-env to the 'shell' command, then you should have
also that ~/.tmux.conf still in place.

Should I run

```
% ./kas-container shell --preserve-env
kas-container: Error: --preserve-env is not supported with kas-container
```

My current command is

```
./kas-container --target virtual/kernel -c menuconfig
```

Right, --preserve-env is inherently limited to non-container starts.

For the container case, you could mount your host version like this:

kas-container --runtime-args "-v $HOME/.tmux.conf:/etc/tmux.conf:ro" ...

If this turns out to be a common case, we can consider expanding
kas-container.
