A collection of software containers for use as desktop applications ("apps").
Install a container runtime tool:
For apps with a graphical user interface (GUI), install
x11docker
.
If you don't want to install x11docker
for all users, copy x11docker
to
~/.local/bin
and make sure ~/.local/bin
is in PATH
.
x11docker
helps containerized applications display GUIs on the host. More
details at the x11docker
repository.
Nothing else required.
Install an application with the install script.
./install gimp
Run the application like any other throught the app menu or command line interface (CLI).
gimp
When creating a new image for an app, be sure to check Alpine and Debian package repositories before doing manual installs. Using the packages generally resolves most dependencies.
