Primary LanguageShellMIT LicenseMIT

  • Screen size is currently hardcoded as 1024x768.
  • A testing branch for RandR (i.e. "Resize desktop to fit" in CRD client) is available; Use Docker image tag :randr.

Google Chrome via VNC

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:5900:5900 siomiz/chrome

  • Google Chrome, not Chromium, for the ease of Flash plugin management
  • on Xvfb
  • served by X11VNC (no password; assuming usage via SSH)

Must agree to Google Chrome ToS to use.

Google Chrome via Chrome Remote Desktop

... so you can use the full Google Chrome with Flash on iPad (with preliminary sound support)! Much faster than VNC thanks to VP8!

No "desktop"; session goes straight to a maximized chrome.

Prerequisite: Create a Profile Volume

You need a VNC client for the initial setup.

  1. docker run -d --name chrome-profile siomiz/chrome (NO password so DO NOT simply use -p 5900:5900 to expose it to the world!)
  2. Connect to the container via VNC. Find the container's IP address by docker inspect -f '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' chrome-profile
  3. Install the "Chrome Remote Desktop" Chrome extension via VNC and activate it, authorize it, and My Computers > Enable Remote Connections, then set a PIN. (Google Account required)
  4. docker stop chrome-profile

(Technically the only config file CRD uses is /home/chrome/.config/chrome-remote-desktop/~host.json which includes OAuth token and private key.)

Usage

docker run -d --volumes-from chrome-profile siomiz/chrome /crdonly (no port needs to be exposed) /crdonly command will run chrome-remote-desktop in foreground.

On first connection (and after an "unclean" container stop) you will get a "Profile Locked / owned by different process" dialog, which you can just select "Relaunch".

Docker ホスト(ヘッドレス可！)で走らせれば、「艦これ」等 Flash ブラウザゲームを iPad/iPhone/Android 等上の Chrome リモート デスクトップ アプリで一応プレイ可能になります。サウンド付き(遅延があります)。 Chrome は英語版ですが、Web ページ用の日本語フォントは含まれています。詳しくはこちら。

Chrome Updates

It is recommended to docker pull siomiz/chrome and restart the container once in a while to update chrome & crd inside (they will not get automatically updated). Optionally you can run docker exec <chrome-container> update to upgrade only google-chrome-stable from outside the container (exit Chrome inside CRD after upgrading).
