Docker containers files

Different Dockerfiles and docker-compose files for containerized services.

note for gui apps:

example container with gui app:

docker run --net=host \
  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ \
  -v $HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority \
  app_image container_command  

--net=host so our container will be local for xhost auth, it also may require a --privileged in some cases.

xserver auth:

xhost + #add permission for all  
xhost +local:root # for root user  
xhost - #remove permission  
xhost   #list allowed clients  

note for pulse audio inside containers:

tested on ubuntu 16.04

sadly i have no success to get working sound in the host system and a container simultaneously, sound works only from one source at a given moment.

to run gui app with sound inside container (stop any source of sound at host system before start container), on a host system add or uncomment load-module module-native-protocol-tcp in /etc/pulse/default.pa, then restart pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k, and finally run container:

docker run --net=host \
  --privileged \
  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ \
  -v $HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority \
  -e PULSE_SERVER=tcp:localhost:4713 \
  image command
