Whisper Systems Signal Desktop in a container
To run this image, share the X11 socket or use any of the other methods to run X11 Apps in Docker.
For example, you can run the image like this on Linux. With this snippet
in your ~/.bashrc:
alias x_in_docker="docker run -d -u 1000:1000 --rm -e HOME \
-e DISPLAY=unix:0 -e XAUTHORITY=/tmp/xauth \
-v $XAUTHORITY:/tmp/xauth -v $HOME:$HOME \
-v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro -v /etc/group:/etc/group:ro \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -w $HOME"
alias signal='x_in_docker vace117/signal'
Launch the app by simply typing signal on your command line.
On MacOS, if you wish to run this image, you need to install XQuartz and
socat. With brew installed, do this:
brew cask install xquartz
brew install socat
Then you can place this bash snippet in your ~/.bash_profile:
__my_ip=$(ifconfig|grep 'inet '|grep -v '127.0.0.1'| \
head -1|awk '{print $2}')
signal() {
killall -0 quartz-wm > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "ERROR: Quartz is not running. Start Quartz and try again."
else
socat TCP-LISTEN:6001,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:\"$DISPLAY\" &
SOCAT_PGM_PID=$!
docker run --rm \
-e HOME \
-e XAUTHORITY=/tmp/xauth -v ~/.Xauthority:/tmp/xauth \
-e DISPLAY=$__my_ip:1 --net host -v $HOME:$HOME \
${1+"$@"} vace117/signal
kill $SOCAT_PGM_PID
fi
}
Now, signal should launch the application.
