⁠Installation & run

• Step 1. Install docker by following Docker official installation guide⁠. Docker is cross-platform so you can run google-chrome on Mac OSX / Linux / Windows.

• Step 2. Download the image, run

$ docker pull weichuntsai/xserver:1.0
$ docker pull weichuntsai/google-chrome:1.0

• Step 3. Install a VNC viewer. I recommend RealVNC⁠.

• Step 4. Initialize the xserver container, the command is as follows:

$ docker run --name mydisplay -e VNC_PASSWORD=1234 -p 5901:5900 weichuntsai/xserver:1.0

For other scenarios of this step, please refer to xserver README.md⁠

• Step 5. Initialize the google-chrome container with link to xserver container (assume you want to name the google-chrome container as chrome), please run

$ docker run --name chrome -dt --link mydisplay:xserver --volumes-from mydisplay weichuntsai/google-chrome:1.0

• Step 6. Setup authentication cookie in the container chrome and run the command google-chrome

$ docker exec -it chrome bash
$ chmod 755 /setup-xclient.sh; /setup-xclient.sh xserver; source ${HOME}/.bashrc
$ google-chrome --no-sandbox

• Step 7. Open your VNC viewer in the host computer (assume you initialize xserver like Step 4), connect to localhost:5901 and type in the password 1234, then you can see your google-chrome console window inside the VNC viewer window like the following figure:
