⁠CRUX X-Chat Image

A Docker image based on crux⁠ to demonstrate how to "Dockerize" X Applications. This "Dockerizes" X-Chat⁠.

⁠Usage

Create these steps as a script or shell function::
export XSOCK=/tmp/.X11-unix export XAUTH=/tmp/.docker.xauth

touch $XAUTH xauth nlist :0 | sed -e "s/^..../ffff/" | xauth -f $XAUTH nmerge -

docker run -i -t -e DISPLAY -e USER -e XAUTHORITY=$XAUTH -v $XSOCK:$XSOCK -v $XAUTH:$XAUTH --net=host crux/xchat

Example Bash function:

dkx() {
    export XSOCK=/tmp/.X11-unix
    export XAUTH=/tmp/.docker.xauth

    if [ ! -f $XAUTH ]; then
        touch $XAUTH
        xauth nlist :0 | sed -e "s/^..../ffff/" | xauth -f $XAUTH nmerge -
    fi

    docker run -i -t -e DISPLAY -e USER -e XAUTHORITY=$XAUTH -v $XSOCK:$XSOCK -v $XAUTH:$XAUTH \
        --net=host $@
}

Usage:

dkx crux/xchat
