qemu for Docker Server

This image can be used standalone, or as a base for other images.

It provides a qemu environment and a VNC console for it, running on port 5901. This can be used for various guest OSs. If you are interested in running DOS as a guest OS, I have a nice image for you at jgoerzen/qemu-dos⁠.

Install and run

You can install with:

docker pull jgoerzen/qemu

And run with:

docker run -d -p 5901:5901 --name myqemu jgoerzen/qemu

This image uses supervisor; please see the supervisor/ directory for examples. Adding your own processes is very simple.

Environment variable

• VNCPASSWORD can set the password for the VNC console (maximum 8 characters, a limitation of tightvncserver). If you do not set one, a random password will be assigned on each start of the container, and logged in the docker logs.

VNC-based console

VNC is exposed on port 5901. You can connect to this port. You will see, by default, an xterm (white) running here, though child images may alter these defaults.
