hhuchzh/xprafirefox repository overview

Run the container in the background

docker run -d -p 5900:10000 hhuchzh/xprafirefox

and use Xpra on the host to attach to container's GUI

xpra attach tcp:localhost:PORT

(replace PORT with the port number exposed from the container)

If you would like to have a persistent profile used in the container, you can mount a host directory into /profile inside the container by adding a -v option to docker run, for example:

docker run -d -v /home/user/firefox_profile:/profile hhuchzh/xprafirefox

Simultaneously running multiple containers from the same profile directory is not recommended, Firefox will not like it.

Similarly, you can do the same for /downloads directory inside the container.

Both volumes should have read/write permissions for user ID 1000, under which is used for starting firefox in the container.
