# Chrome Docker (unmaintained)

A Docker image that can run Google Chrome.

Please note, this project is no longer maintained. I am currently focused on

other projects, and do not have the required time to support this. Pease feel

free to fork it.

Thank you for using it. I hope that it helped :)

## How does it work?

The Docker image includes a VNC server which provides graphical access to the

virtual display running in the container.

## How do I build it?

Refer to the [building documentation](docs/building).

## How do I run it?

First, start the container and its VNC server:

```

docker run -p 5900:5900 --name chrome --user apps --privileged 

```

**Note**: The macOS VNC client will not be able to login unless you set a

password for the VNC server. The instructions for setting a VNC password can be

found below.

By default, the VNC server is started without a password. If you would like to

specify a password for the VNC server, do the following:

```

docker run -p 5900:5900 -e VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD=some-password --name chrome \

    --user apps --privileged 

```

Once the container is running, you can VNC into it at `127.0.0.1` and run Chrome

from a terminal window by running:

```

google-chrome

```

You can also start Google Chrome by right-clicking the Desktop and selecting:

```

Applications > Network > Web Browsing > Google Chrome

```

## Additional settings

Refer to the [configuration documentation](docs/configuration).

## Security concerns

This image starts a X11 VNC server which spawns a framebuffer. Google Chrome

also requires that the image be run with the `--privileged` flag set. This flag

disables security labeling for the resulting container. Be very careful if you

run the container on a non-firewalled host.

Some applications (such as Google Chrome) will not run under the root user. A

non-root user named `apps` is included for such scenarios.
