xylphid/wine repository overview

⁠Wine

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

⁠How to use this image

You can customize the wine.sh script available in the repository or make your own as follow :

#!/bin/sh

XSOCK=/tmp/.X11-unix
XAUTH=/tmp/.docker.wine.xauth
if [ ! -f $XAUTH ]; then
    touch $XAUTH
    xauth nlist $DISPLAY | sed -e 's/^..../ffff/' | xauth -f $XAUTH nmerge -
fi

docker run --rm -d \
    --name wine \
    -e DISPLAY \
    -e XAUTHORITY=${XAUTH} \
    -v ${XAUTH}:${XAUTH}:rw \
    -v $XSOCK:$XSOCK:rw \
    -v /path/to/software:/home/wine/ \
    xylphid/wine $@

This script will create a X authentication file with proper permissions and mount this to a volume for the container to use.

Then execute your script :

$ ./wine.sh software.exe
