crsilva/krita repository overview

⁠Introduction

I created this container because Krita's latest 3.0 version is not available on all distros. In this case, I used an existing ppa which contains this version for Ubuntu (which uses 2.9 by default).

⁠Instructions

The following is a sample command I would use to run Krita on a Ubuntu 16.04 host:

$ docker run --rm \
-e DISPLAY \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
crsilva/krita:latest

I recommend to mount a volume for saving config and images outside the docker. This ensures you keep the data once you stop the container.

⁠Dockerfile
