Base Ubuntu docker image for X-based GUI applications.
Create images for X-based GUI applications using the following template:
Dockerfile:
FROM openhs/ubuntu-x
# put instructions for installing desired GUI application here
# ...
CMD ["/path/to/gui_app"]
Then start the GUI application container like:
$ docker run --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY [--device /dev/<sound_device> [...]] \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $XAUTHORITY:/tmp/.host_Xauthority:ro \
-dti <gui_app_image_name>
For example:
$ docker run --name gui_app -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --device /dev/snd \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $XAUTHORITY:/tmp/.host_Xauthority:ro \
-dti foo/gui_app
and run it again like:
$ docker start gui_app
