Provides a customized environment that you can run Exaile (or really any python GStreamer/GTK3 based application) in, even if your OS does not ship with the right dependency packages. Also provides a foundation to do testing with packages from an OS that you don't have... just modify the included template.
Not intended for non-technical users at this time.
- Linux with docker installed
- Exaile checked out alongside this repo
First, copy settings.example to settings, then to run exaile:
./run.sh
You can customize the settings file to run other programs too.
Alternatively, if you wish to use a Wayland-based display instead of X11, you can do this instead:
./run_wayland.sh
If you wish to build your own image instead of using the image from docker
hub, then run ./build.sh (note: if you do not add your user to the docker
group, then you will need to run build.sh via sudo). It will take a few
minutes.
If you have access to the
docker hub,
you can push a new tag to docker.
This step is required before you can use a docker tag, e.g. in
exaile/exaile-testimg. After running ./build.sh as described above, you will
need to docker push exaile/gst-python, which will upload the containers
to docker.com. If you get a requested access to the resource is denied error,
you may need to docker login before that.
Please fork and make a pull request! There's a lot of ways that this could be improved.
I don't remember where I grabbed the original scripts from, but I went searching for a pulseaudio thing and found https://github.com/terlar/docker-skype-pulseaudio, at which point I realized it was awesome and stole most of it.
