maxpeal/x2go repository overview

⁠x2go via docker

A nice and simple set of containers for quickly spinning up a "Remote desktop" environment. Handy for accessing a headless server without installing the x server on it.

This can be used for a remote desktop on a per user basis to give each person their own desktop, Make sure you mount their home directory outside the container like so:

docker run -itd -p 2222:22/tcp -v /mnt/dockerhome:/home maxpeal/x2go:xfce

You can either have one container per user, or share a container with multiple users. RAM usage will be fairly high if you choose one per user!

⁠Running the containers

I'd recommend mounting an external directory for /home to preserve data when containers are deleted/updated

docker run -td -p 2222:22 -v /mnt/dockerhome:/home maxpeal/x2go:(latest/kde/mate/xfce)
