# Docker image docker.io/hugojosefson/chromium

Runs the Chromium browser, inside Docker.

## Usage

This docker image must be started as `root`, so don't use `docker

run --user=...`. Instead, pass environment variables `USER_NAME`,

`USER_ID`, `GROUP_NAME`, `GROUP_ID` (and optionally `HOME`) for the

user you want to become.

Example which gives Chromium access to the current directory, but

not your actual `HOME` on your host.

```bash

# Create a new temp directory to hold the user HOME inside the container

CHROMIUM_HOME=$(mktemp -d) # (or use another specific directory)

# Run Chromium using in the current directory, as yourself, with config

# saved in the new HOME

docker run --rm -it \

  --env USER_ID="$(id -u)" \

  --env USER_NAME="$(id -un)" \

  --env GROUP_ID="$(id -g)" \

  --env GROUP_NAME="$(id -gn)" \

  --env HOME="${HOME}" \

  --volume "${CHROMIUM_HOME}":"${HOME}" \

  --volume /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \

  --env DISPLAY="unix${DISPLAY}" \

  --volume "$(pwd)":"$(pwd)" \

  --workdir "$(pwd)" \

  docker.io/hugojosefson/chromium

```
