Xubuntu on Docker

A Docker image based on Ubuntu 20.04 with the Xfce desktop environment, xrdp, xrdp PulseAudio module and VirtualGL.

Start an instance

docker run \
  --name xubuntu \
  --detach \
  --shm-size 2g \
  --publish 3322:3322/tcp \
  --publish 3389:3389/tcp \
  --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
  hectormolinero/xubuntu:latest

You will be able to connect to the container via SSH through 3322/tcp port and RDP through 3389/tcp port.

Important: some software (like Firefox) need the shared memory to be increased, if you encounter any problem related to this you may use the --shm-size option.
