A small project that helps to easily run linux desktop applications as Docker containers.
##Installation
- Clone and
cd ./inside-docker
- Run
sudo ./install.sh
this will create a symbolic link calledinside-docker
within your/usr/local/bin
-folder
##Usage
Hit ALT+F2 or run a terminal and enter inside-docker <SERVICE-NAME>
to start one of the services as a Docker container. Right now there are two, both should work with pulseaudio.
inside-docker skype
starts Skype
sound is working fine after a few tweaks. The cam was recognized instantly.inside-docker tachrome
starts a throw-away instance of Chrome
Ghostery, AdBlock & a Proxy switcher are already installed. If you're running Tor on your host, you can pipe your traffic through it by selecting TOR as proxy.
##Troubleshooting If sound is not working from within the containers, try
- install
paprefson
your host system (something likesudo apt-get install paprefs
) - launch "PulseAudio Preferences" and ensure that "Enable network access to local sound devices" is checked on the "Network Server" tab
- Restart PulseAudio (something like
pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D
) - launch a container and retry
