x11docker/deepin repository overview

⁠x11docker/deepin

Run deepin desktop⁠ in a Docker container. Use x11docker⁠ to run image.

Run desktop with:

x11docker --desktop --init=systemd -- --cap-add=IPC_LOCK -- x11docker/deepin

Run single application:

x11docker x11docker/deepin deepin-terminal

⁠Please build image instead of pulling it

docker hub does not provide automated builds for free anymore. So this image is becoming old and outdated. Instead of pulling this image, please build it locally yourself. x11docker can do this for you with:

x11docker --build x11docker/deepin

⁠Options:

• Persistent home folder stored on host with --home
• Shared host file or folder with --share PATH
• Hardware acceleration with option --gpu
• Clipboard sharing with option --clipboard
• Language locale setting with --lang [=$LANG]
• Sound support with --pulseaudio
• Printer support with --printer
• Webcam support with --webcam

See x11docker --help for further options.

⁠Known issues

• The logout button does not respond. To terminate the session either close the X server window or type systemctl poweroff in terminal.
• Configuring the keyboard input method in deepin control center does not work. Use "Fcitx Configuration" in the application menu instead.

⁠Extend base image

To add your desired applications, create and build from a custom Dockerfile with this image as a base. Example with firefox:

FROM x11docker/deepin
RUN apt-get update && \
    env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y firefox && \
    apt-get clean

⁠deepin community repository

Some applications has been outsourced from the official deepin repository, noteable many Windows applications running with wine. They are still available in a community repository⁠. To replace the deepin repository with the community repository, build a new image with:

FROM x11docker/deepin

RUN apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1C30362C0A53D5BB && \
    echo "deb [by-hash=force] https://community-packages.deepin.com/deepin/ apricot main contrib non-free"  > /etc/apt/sources.list && \
    echo "deb https://community-store-packages.deepin.com/appstore eagle appstore" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/appstore.list && \
    apt-get update

Another community repository outside of China is located in Spain⁠.

Many deepin wine applications need i386 architecture support. Add this with:

RUN dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update

To install e.g. WeChat add this line:

RUN env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y com.qq.weixin.deepin && apt-get clean

WeChat can be started in container with: /opt/apps/com.qq.weixin.deepin/files/run.sh. To let it appear in the application menu, add:

RUN cp /opt/apps/com.qq.weixin.deepin/entries/applications/com.qq.weixin.deepin.desktop /usr/share/applications/
