resin-odroid-c1-debian

This is a Docker base image based on resin.io's Debian image for Odroid and nicjo814's modifications. It allows a user called abc to run X programs with video and audio from within a container.

Prerequisites

  • X server installed on host OS (must be with a window manger)
  • Allow connections to the X server. Either by running xhost + as the user starting the X session on the host OS from cli, or by entering xhost + into the ~/.xsessionrc file as the user starting the X session on the host OS (create the file if it doesn't exist)

Supported GFX drivers

  • nvidia, nouveau, radeon, i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945, i965
  • Other drivers are probably supported too. If your driver is not listed above, try to run the container without the GFX_DRIVER parameter and report back if it works.

Usage

docker run -d --privileged -v /tmp:/tmp -e GFX_DRIVER=<driver> --name=gui nicjo814/docker-baseimage-xenial-x

Optionally a folder on the host OS may be mounted to the /config folder in the container by adding the parameter -v /path/to/host/folder:/config
