⁠Brave Browser Container Image 🐳

⁠Setup

In the following instructions, podman may be replaced with sudo docker.

⁠Step 1: Select or Build Image

Perform one of the following steps:

• $ git clone https://github.com/fphammerle/docker-brave-browser
  $ cd docker-brave-browser
  $ podman build -t [IMAGE_NAME] .
  

  Copy
• Select a pre-built image at https://hub.docker.com/r/fphammerle/brave-browser/tags⁠
  (e.g., docker.io/fphammerle/brave-browser:0.2.0-browser1.22.71-amd64)

⁠Step 2: Start Dedicated X Server

Choose some arbitrary [DISPLAY_NUMBER] and run:

$ Xephyr -resizeable :[DISPLAY_NUMBER]
# for example:
$ Xephyr -resizeable :1

Alternative: Adapt the access rights of your main X server
(cave: xhost + is horribly insecure)

⁠Step 3: Launch Container

$ podman run --name brave_browser --rm --init \
    -e DISPLAY=:[DISPLAY_NUMBER] -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -v brave_browser_home:/home/browser --shm-size 1GB \
    --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=8k \
    --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges \
    [IMAGE_NAME]

Add --tmpfs /tmp:size=8k when using docker.
