Corel WordPerfect 8.1 container image

This container image is built using Debian 2.1 "slink" with specific debs installed off the Corel Linux 1.2 Deluxe installation media as found on archive.org.

Building

Use the ./build-container.sh script. Note that the container build depends on Docker and buildx. On deb-based distributions, you are best off using Microsoft's builds of the moby project (open source upstream Docker engine) rather than the version of Docker that comes with your distro. You might be able to make it work with Podman; I haven't tried.

There are similar repos available for rpm-based distributions as well.

See Microsoft documentation for details. Quick start for Debian 12 or 13 for example:

curl -fLSsO https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/12/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install moby-cli moby-buildx moby-engine docker.io- runc- containerd-

Running

Run

./startxwp.sh

from this repository. It will start the container, bind-mounting in your home directory as a volume, copying the XAUTHORITY file, and setting environment variables to reach the X11 server.
