wine-x11-novnc-docker

Not a very good name, is it?

Ever wanted to containerize your wine applications and access them via a web browser? No? Neither did I!

This container runs:

• Xvfb - X11 in a virtual framebuffer
• x11vnc - A VNC server that scrapes the above X11 server
• noNVC - A HTML5 canvas vnc viewer
• Fluxbox - a small window manager
• Explorer.exe - to demo that it works

This is a trusted build on the Docker Hub.

Run It

# Start the container
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 solarkennedy/wine-x11-novnc-docker

# Show the container ID (this is the VNC password)
docker ps

# Open VNC in your web browser
xdg-open http://localhost:8080

In your web browser, type the container ID as password, and then you should see the default application, explorer.exe:

Modifying

This is a base image. You should fork or use this base image to run your own wine programs?

Issues

• Wine could be optimized a bit
• Fluxbox could be skinned or reduced
