julazcano/firefox-flash-java repository overview

Firefox 52.9 ESR docker image with Adobe Flash & Java8 (icedtea) installed, using Xpra for displaying GUI from container on the host.

Pull or build:
The image is built automatically on Docker hub in repository julazcano/firefox-flash-java and can be pulled using command

docker pull julazcano/firefox-flash-java or if you'd prefer to build it yourself from this repository

docker build -t julazcano/firefox-flash-java .

Usage example:

Run the container in the background

docker run --rm -p 10000:10000 -d julazcano/firefox-flash-java

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

xpra attach tcp:localhost:10000

(replace 10000 with the port number exposed from the container if modified from tcp/10000)

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 julazcano/firefox-flash-java

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.
