cqingwang/chrome repository overview

• The testing branch for RandR⁠ (i.e. "Resize desktop to fit" in CRD client) is merged into master/latest.

⁠Google Chrome via VNC

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:5900:5900 siomiz/chrome

• Google Chrome, not Chromium, for the ease of Flash plugin management
• on Xvfb, with FluxBox (no window decorations)
• served by X11VNC (no password; assuming usage via SSH)

Must agree to Google Chrome ToS⁠ to use.

⁠Google Chrome via Chrome Remote Desktop

... so you can use the full Google Chrome with Flash on iPad (with preliminary sound support)! Much faster than VNC thanks to VP8!

⁠Prerequisite: Create a Profile Volume

You need a VNC client for the initial setup.

1. docker run -d --name chrome-profile siomiz/chrome (NO password so DO NOT simply use -p 5900:5900 to expose it to the world!)
2. Connect to the container via VNC. Find the container's IP address by docker inspect -f '{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' chrome-profile
3. Install the "Chrome Remote Desktop" Chrome extension via VNC and activate it, authorize it, and My Computers > Enable Remote Connections, then set a PIN. (Google Account required)
4. docker stop chrome-profile

(Technically the only config file CRD uses is /home/chrome/.config/chrome-remote-desktop/~host.json which includes OAuth token and private key.)

⁠Usage

docker run -d --volumes-from chrome-profile siomiz/chrome /crdonly (no port needs to be exposed) /crdonly command will run chrome-remote-desktop in foreground.

Docker ホスト(ヘッドレス可！)で走らせれば、「艦これ」等 Flash ブラウザゲームを iPad/iPhone/Android 等上の Chrome リモート デスクトップ アプリで一応プレイ可能になります。サウンド付き(遅延があります)。 Chrome は英語版ですが、Web ページ用の日本語フォントは含まれています。詳しくはこちら。⁠

⁠Chrome Updates

It is recommended to docker pull siomiz/chrome and restart the container once in a while to update chrome & crd inside (they will not get automatically updated). Optionally you can run docker exec <chrome-container> update to upgrade only google-chrome-stable from outside the container (exit Chrome inside CRD after upgrading).
