Docker based application on your laptop

You want to have apps running in docker container. why?

1. Its convenient, to upgrade and twea k the app independent of changes to your own OS. 
2. To have multiple images of upgrade apps, which you know are experimental and buggy.
3. Ship-able, so things can be shared in a way which is exactly reproduce-able 
4. Hype!

How to do it in the easiest of ways.

Git checkout - https://github.com/jfrazelle/dockerfiles

Someone has put a lot of hardwork and have made all the dockerfiles for most of the things you need - 

It is an exhaustive list.

Build it, hack it, resubmit it, use it!

I use the firefox, chrome, tor, slack containers. The sound is a bit buggy and doesnt work straight out of the box. Here are some blogs to get you started - Jassie Frazelle's Container on desktop, Setting the sound up.

Here is how I build and fired up chrome - 

#>cd ~/workspace

#>git clone https://github.com/jfrazelle/dockerfilescd

#>cd dockerfiles
#>docker build -t saneax/chrome-stable chrome/stable/

#>docker run -it --rm \

  --net host \ 

  --cpuset-cpus 0 \ 

  --memory 512mb \ 

  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw \ 

  -v /dev/snd:/dev/snd \ 

  --privileged \ 

  -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm \ 

  -v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id \ 

  -v /var/lib/dbus:/var/lib/dbus \ 

  -v /run/user/`id -u`/pulse/native:/run/user/`id -u`/pulse/native \ 

  -v ~/.pulse:/home/$dockerUsername/.pulse \ 

  --name chrome saneax/chrome

Happy docking!
