Signal installation in a Distrobox

Signal only provides a script for .deb based distros on their official website. The flatpak is currently not ideal because it stores encryption keys in plaintext.

The provided link suggests an automated installation in a Ubuntu Distrobox including automated updates. Useful for every distro that does not natively support .deb packages.

I wonder why it requires a full VM, has anyone run it inside Docker?

Edit: For some reason I thought Distrobox was like VirtualBox, instead it seems more like Docker, apparently even requires podman .. carry on, nothing to see here.

PS .. TIL that there's a Signal .deb available.
