[FEATURE] xfce desktop container
itskenny0 opened this issue · 7 comments
Could you add an xfce4 container that just starts a desktop with chromium installed?
I primarily get my chinese cartoons from nyaa, so I've hacked this together for now:
docker exec -it neko_neko_1 apt update
docker exec -it neko_neko_1 apt -y install xfce4 mpv qbittorrent
docker exec -it neko_neko_1 bash
sudo -u neko nohup xfce4-session &
This works great, but it would be much cleaner if a container was already available that does this.
@itskenny0 you can create your own container, just like here:
https://github.com/nurdism/neko/blob/master/.docker/files/firefox/Dockerfile
@m1k1o I know, but I'm not that great with Docker and I would imagine that I'm not the only one with this use case, so an 'official' solution would be great :)
I'm not sure, that full remote desktop is the main use-case of this project, but this is one solution:
3files in 1folder:
Dockerfile
FROM nurdism/neko:base
#
# install xfce4
RUN set -eux; apt-get update; \
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends xfce4 firefox-esr mpv qbittorrent; \
#
# clean up
apt-get clean -y; \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /var/cache/apt/*
#
# copy configuation files
COPY supervisord.conf /etc/neko/supervisord/xfce4.conf
supervisord.conf
[program:xfce4]
environment=HOME="/home/%(ENV_USER)s",USER="%(ENV_USER)s",DISPLAY="%(ENV_DISPLAY)s"
command=xfce4-session
autorestart=true
priority=800
user=%(ENV_USER)s
stdout_logfile=/var/log/neko/xfce4.log
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=100MB
stdout_logfile_backups=10
redirect_stderr=true
stderr_logfile=/var/log/neko/xfce4.err.log
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=100MB
stderr_logfile_backups=10
docker-compose.yml
neko:
build: .
container_name: neko
restart: unless-stopped
shm_size: "1gb"
environment:
DISPLAY: :99.0
NEKO_BIND: :8080
ports:
- 8080:8080
- "59000-59100:59000-59100/udp"
And then run like nomal neko-container:
docker-compose up -d
Thank you! I did not realize you could start these from local with docker-compose.
I've made a few more adjustments and pushed my version: https://github.com/itskenny0/neko-xfce4
oh thats a neat idea, maybe I could make a nurdism/neko:xfce4 and a nurdism/neko:openbox docker image
