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 So this image is becoming old and outdated.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/fvwm

Command examples:

  • Single application: x11docker x11docker/fvwm xterm
  • Full desktop: x11docker --desktop x11docker/fvwm
  • Full desktop with init system openrc: x11docker --desktop --init=openrc x11docker/fvwm

Options:

  • Persistent home folder stored on host with --home
  • Shared host file or folder with --share PATH
  • Clipboard sharing with option --clipboard
  • Sound support with option --alsa

Look at x11docker --help for further options.

Extend base image

To add your desired applications, create your own Dockerfile with this image as a base. Example:

FROM x11docker/fvwm
RUN apk-add --no-cache midori
