Firefox Browser included.\n\n![](/screenshots/Capture.PNG)\n*noVNC view of the Container running*\n\nThe image comes with noVNC to allow user to view the desktop environment with their browsers.\n\n## Usage\n\n```Shell\ndocker run -d -p 6901:6901 -p 5901:5901 --name desktop piopirahl/docker-desktop:1.0.2\n```\n\nYou will be able to access the noVNC windows at [http://localhost:6901](http://localhost:6901) or use your VNC viewer with `localhost:5901`\n\n### Custom configs\n\nThe config files are stored under `/home/dockeruser/.config` on the container.\nIn order, to save on your host your configs, you can follow those steps:\n\n1. Run the docker image to generate the configs on the container\n\n```Shell\ndocker run -d -p 6901:6901 -p 5901:5901 --name desktop piopirahl/docker-desktop:1.0.2\n```\n\n2. Copy the content of the container on the host\n\n```Shell\nmkdir config\ndocker cp desktop:/home/dockeruser/.config  $PWD/config\n```\n\n3. Stop the running container and start a new one with a mounted volume\n\n```Shell\ndocker rm -f desktop\ndocker run -d -p 6901:6901 -p 5901:5901 --name desktop -v $PWD/config/.config:/home/dockeruser/.config piopirahl/docker-desktop:1.0.2\n```\n\n4. Now your local configs will be saved on your host machine\n\n### Ports\n\n**6901** is exposed by default for the noVNC.\n\n**5901** is exposed by default for VNC.\n\n## DockerHub\n\nDockerHub link of the images:\n\n- [https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/piopirahl/docker-desktop](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/piopirahl/docker-desktop)\n\n## Image Contents\n\n- [Xvfb](http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/man/man1/Xvfb.1.xhtml) - X11 in a virtual framebuffer\n- [TigerVNC](https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc) - A VNC server that scrapes the above X11 server\n- [noVNC](https://github.com/novnc/noVNC) - A HTML5 canvas vnc viewer\n- [xfce4](https://www.xfce.org/) - a small desktop environment\n\n## Maintainers\n\nMostapha El Sabah [Piopi](https://github.com/piopi)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpiopi%2Fdocker-desktop","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpiopi%2Fdocker-desktop","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpiopi%2Fdocker-desktop/lists"}
