***



**Attention!** This repository is **retired** and **archived**. It will not be developed any further and the related images on Docker Hub will not be rebuilt any more. They will phase out and they will be deleted after becoming too old. Please use the newer **third generation** (G3) repositories [accetto/headless-coding-g3][accetto-github-headless-coding-g3] and [accetto/headless-drawing-g3][accetto-github-headless-drawing-g3] and the related images on Docker Hub instead. If you still need images based on `Ubuntu 18.04 LTS`, then use the **second generation** (G2) repository [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-novnc][accetto-github-xubuntu-vnc-novnc], which will be still maintained.

**Tip** If you want newer images based on [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS][docker-ubuntu] with the latest [TigerVNC][tigervnc-releases]/[noVNC][novnc-releases] versions, please check the **third generation** (G3) [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3][accetto-docker-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3], [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-chromium-g3][accetto-docker-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-chromium-g3] or [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-g3][accetto-docker-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-g3].



**Tip** If you need also [noVNC][novnc], then you can use my other images from the project [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-novnc][accetto-github-xubuntu-vnc-novnc] ([image hierarchy][accetto-xubuntu-vnc-novnc-wiki-image-hierarchy]).



***



This project repository contains resources for building various Docker images based on [Ubuntu][docker-ubuntu] with [Xfce][xfce] desktop environment and [VNC][tigervnc] server for headless use.



The resources for the individual images and their variations are stored in the subfolders of the [Git Hub][this-github] repository and the image features are described in the individual README files. Additional descriptions can be found in the common project [Wiki][this-wiki].



All images are part of a growing [image hierarchy][this-wiki-image-hierarchy].



### Git Hub subfolders / Docker image sets



#### [xubuntu-vnc][this-github-xubuntu-vnc]



Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc] base images.



The images are streamlined and simplified versions of my other images [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce][accetto-docker-ubuntu-vnc-xfce].



Several variations are available, including the one supporting overriding both the container user and the user group.



These base images already include commonly used utilities **ping**, **wget**, **zip**, **unzip**, **sudo**, [curl][curl], [git][git] and also the current version of [jq][jq] JSON processor.



Additional components and applications can be easily added by the user because **sudo** is supported.



#### [xubuntu-vnc-firefox][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-firefox]

  

Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-firefox][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-firefox] images with the current [Firefox Quantum][firefox] web browser.



Several variations are available, including the one supporting easy pre-configuration and copying of personal Firefox user preferences.



The images are streamlined and simplified versions of my other images [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-plus][accetto-docker-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-plus] and [accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-default][accetto-docker-ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-default].



#### [xubuntu-vnc-chromium][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-chromium]

  

Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-chromium][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-chromium] images with the open-source [Chromium][chromium] web browser.



#### [xubuntu-vnc-node][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-node]



Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-node][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-node] images with JavaScript-based development platform. It adds [Node.js][nodejs] platform with [npm][npm] package manager. Additional [Node.js][nodejs] modules can be easily added using [npm][npm].



Variations with the `current` and `LTS` versions of [Node.js][nodejs] are available.



#### [xubuntu-vnc-typescript][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-typescript]



Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-typescript][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-typescript] images with JavaScript-based development platform. It adds [Visual Studio Code][vscode] developer editor and [TypeScript][typescript] programming language. Additional [Node.js][nodejs] modules can be easily added using [npm][npm].



#### [xubuntu-vnc-angular][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-angular]



Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-angular][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-angular] images with JavaScript development platform for [Angular][angular] development. Additional [Node.js][nodejs] modules can be easily added using [npm][npm].



#### [xubuntu-vnc-heroku][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-heroku]



Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-heroku-js-postgresql][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-heroku-js-postgresql] images with [heroku/CLI][heroku-cli] and [PostgreSQL][postgresql] for JavaScript-based development with [Node.js][nodejs], [npm][npm], [Git][git], [Visual Studio Code][vscode] and [TypeScript][typescript]. Additional [Node.js][nodejs] modules can be easily added using [npm][npm].



#### [xubuntu-vnc-drawio][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-drawio]

  

Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-drawio][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-drawio] images with the free open-source [desktop version][drawio-desktop] of the diagramming tool [draw.io][drawio].



Several variations are available, including the one with the current [Firefox Quantum][firefox] web browser.



#### [xubuntu-vnc-inkscape][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-inkscape]

  

Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-inkscape][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-inkscape] images with the free open-source vector graphics editor [Inkscape][inkscape].



Several variations are available, including the one with the current [Firefox Quantum][firefox] web browser.



#### [xubuntu-vnc-gimp][this-github-xubuntu-vnc-gimp]



Contains resources for building [accetto/xubuntu-vnc-gimp][this-docker-xubuntu-vnc-gimp] images with the free open-source bitmap image editor [GIMP][gimp].



Several variations are available, including the one with the current [Firefox Quantum][firefox] web browser.



#### [utils][this-github-utils]

  

Contains utilities that make building the images more convenient.



- `util-hdx.sh`  

  

  Displays the file head and executes the chosen line, removing the first occurrence of '#' and trimming the line from left first. Providing the line number argument skips the interaction and executes the given line directly.

  

  The comment lines at the top of included Dockerfiles are intended for this utility.



  The utility displays the help if started with the `-h` or `--help` argument. It has been developed using my other utilities `utility-argbash-init.sh` and `utility-argbash.sh`, contained in the [accetto/argbash-docker][accetto-github-argbash-docker-utils] Git Hub repository, from which the [accetto/argbash-docker][accetto-docker-argbash-docker] Docker image is built.



- `util-refresh-readme.sh`  

  

  This script can be used for updating the `version sticker` badges in README files. It is intended for local use before publishing the repository.



  The script does not include any help, because it takes only a single argument - the path where to start searching for files (default is `../docker`).
