Want to run an Adobe AIR application?! I don't know why you would! Incase you do, feel free to use this broken-soul-of-a container to do it in.
docker build --rm -t 42n4/air-docker .
The path to the installer binary is /usr/local/bin/air-installer or just air-installer for your installation needs.
Here is a barebones example of a Dockerfile you might make:
USE nucleardreamer/air-docker
RUN air-install -silent -eulaAccepted /path/to/a/probably/useless/app.air
If you are trying to run headless (meaning no interface for the install), you can use xvfb to fake your X11 server socket because adobe is stupid as hell. This will start an virtual frame buffer for the installer to use:
ENV DISPLAY=:0
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y xvfb && \
Xvfb :0 -screen 0 666x666x16 > /dev/null 2>&1
RUN air-install -silent -eulaAccepted /path/to/a/probably/useless/app.air
The most common use case would be to extend this bad boy to USE this bad boy in another docker file, like you can see in this infrared touch frame project.
One common way to share your X server is to just mount your X's UNIX socket as a volume.
An example would be, if your DISPLAY variable was the default :0 or localhost:0, you could do a docker run -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY, which will share all the X sockets you have (in the case of multiple monitors).
export DISPLAY=:0
docker run -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v $PWD:/home -it 42n4/air-docker /bin/bash
Good luck. I really hope nobody actually needs to use this repository!
