# Containerized Xorg Desktop Accessed via SPICE/HTML5
Containerized remote Xorg Desktop using [Spice](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Spice),
can be accessed using the included Html5 client.
It uses basic lightweight OpenBox, you can make [OpenBox awesome](https://fedoramagazine.org/openbox-fedora/) if you like by:
- adding background image using `feh`
- adding panels using `tint2`
- fancy display of information using `conky`
## Use cases
Can be used to provide
- light weight remote desktops
- automation (launch firefox/chrome and do some automated tests)
- in-browser IDEs
- access a service from different place
## Using SPICE clients
We have published docker image on docker hub you can see it [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/alsadi/containerized-xorg-spice/).
You can use any remote desktop client that support spice protocol.
First you need to start the server, which is in our case a container
```
docker run -d -p 5900:5900 --name myspice alsadi/containerized-xorg-spice
```
you can install more software by entering the container and your applications
```
docker exec -ti -u root myspice /bin/bash
dnf install eclipse firefox
```
## Using the included HTML5 client
We have included HTML5 client, so you can run the entire stack of
- your SPICE desktop
- static files serving the HTML5 client
- `websockify` to tunnel SPICE into `websocket`
you can do this using one the following commands
```
git clone https://github.com/muayyad-alsadi/containerized-xorg-spice.git
cd containerized-xorg-spice
docker-compose up
```
Then open your browser on port 8080 like this
you can enter it to install packages like this
```
docker exec -ti -u root containerizedxorgspice_desktop_1 /bin/bash
```
## Customization
This image uses a regular user `app`, place any executable file in `/home/app/.config/openbox/autostart.d/`
which will be executed in background during start up.
currently it only launches `xterm`
the password is `123456`, which is set in `/etc/X11/spiceqxl.xorg.conf`
```
Option "SpicePassword" "123456"
```
