[Unreleased]

Fixed

7.6.0 - 2023-01-18

Changed

  • --install|--update|--update-master: Up to version 7.5.0 x11docker installed itself with prefix /usr, now it uses /usr/local. This serves to follow the Linux Foundation specifications of /usr/local. To help with the transition, a new option --remove-oldprefix was introduced. An update from previous versions must be done twice to take effect. Recommended procedure:
    • First run: x11docker --update
    • Again run: x11docker --update
    • Afterwards run: x11docker --remove-oldprefix

Added

  • --remove-oldprefix: Remove installation in old prefix /usr. (479)

7.5.0 - 2023-01-16

Added

  • man page for x11docker. (Run update from 7.4.2 twice to install it.) (469)

Fixed

  • --tty failed with --xc. Fix: disable --xc. (464)
  • --xonly: run socat unprivileged to make the unix socket accessible. (466)
  • --share: Softlink fix for folders in HOME. (475)
  • jq support to lessen python dependency. (478)
  • Replace getent with custom grep command. (477)
  • --install|--update*: Do not depend on backend. (470)

Deprecated

  • --backend=proot: Deprecated because likely no one uses it, but would need further checks and maintenance.

7.4.2 - 2022-08-7

Fixed

  • --xpra*: Fix for Wayland+X11 on host. Use Wayland for xpra client. Caused startup failure along with --xc. (462)
  • --hostwayland: Do not use container of x11docker/xserver (option --xc).
  • --fullscreen: Enable desktop mode.
  • Do not set --hostname to avoid --network issues. (463)
  • --runtime=sysbox: support --gpu=virgl again.

Deprecated

  • --runtime=kata-runtime: recent kata v2.x does not provide kata-runtime.

7.4.1 - 2022-08-03

Changed

  • --update, --update-master: New optional argument diff to show the difference between installed and new version without installing it. (460)

Fixed

  • --hostdisplay --gpu --xc=no: Do not enable --ipc=host automatically.

Fixed

  • --user: Fix in setup of /etc/gshadow.

  • --user=RETAIN: Keep user settings of image instead of creating a new one. (#85)

Fixed

  • gnome-terminal did not appear for password prompt or docker pull. (#84)
  • Watch container pid 1 instead of container pid itself. Avoids issue on NixOS where users cannot see processes of other users, root or docker in this case. Throw error if x11docker cannot watch container pid 1 due to hidepid=2. (#83)

5.3.1 - 2018-10-22

Fixed

  • --hostdisplay: Fixed XAUTHORITY issue if running over ssh -X. (#81)

5.3.0 - 2018-10-11

Added

  • --homebasedir: Set base directory where to store folders for --home.

Changed

  • API CHANGE: Syntax changed for custom DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS (#58). New:
   x11docker [OPTIONS] --  DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS -- IMAGE [COMMAND [ARG1 ARG2 ...]]

Previous syntax, still valid, but deprecated:

   x11docker [OPTIONS] -- "DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS"   IMAGE [COMMAND [ARG1 ARG2 ...]]
   x11docker [OPTIONS] -- IMAGE COMMAND ARG1 -- ARG2

BREAKS due to wrongly parsed -- :

   x11docker [OPTIONS] -- "DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS"   IMAGE COMMAND ARG1 -- ARG2

Valid:

   x11docker [OPTIONS] --  DOCKER_RUN_OPTIONS -- IMAGE COMMAND ARG1 -- ARG2

  • --xpra: Check if xhost is available if xpra version 2.3.1 has cookie issue. (#57)
  • --xpra-xwayland: Set Weston --fullscreen to get Xwayland resolution matching host display. Weston v4.0.0 seems to interpret screen size settings in weston.ini different than before.
  • --pulseaudio: create socket to share instead of using existing one. (#71)
  • --pw gksu, --pw gksudo: Disable keyboard grabbing to avoid issues with Gnome 3 Wayland session.
  • Don't fail on missing password prompt frontend if no password is needed.

4.3.6 - 2018-07-03

Changed

  • --auto: Prefer --xpra and --xephyr over --nxagent again. --nxagent too often has issues with extension Composite.

4.3.5 - 2018-06-21

Changed

  • x11docker-gui runs from console, too.

Fixed

  • --xorg and others on TTY failed due to xinit in subshell. (regression in v4.3.4).
  • --weston --size failed on tty, have to specify drm backend for check.
  • timezone syncing: If setting TZ, positive offsets have been set wrong.
  • timezone syncing: Regard TZ from host, not only /etc/localtime.
  • --xpra: catch timeout disconnection that happens if using another tty longer than 60s. Restart xpra client in that case.

4.3.4 - 2018-06-15

Changed

  • --dbus-system --sharecgroup: support of elogind in container.
  • Timezone syncing: Do not mount-bind /etc/localtime. If tzdata is missing in image, but host and image have same libc, provide current timezone file only. Create symlink /etc/localtime within container. If all that fails, set TZ with offset to UTC. (#50)
  • Improved message.fifo handling from within dockerrc and container.
  • Disentangled final code sequence of xinit and docker run.

Fixed

  • Check for running docker daemon in dockerrc instead of using pidof. (#49)

  • --xorg: Password prompt did not appear on new display.
  • --nothing: Bugfix password prompt on console.
  • --nothing: Avoid startup error message.
  • --nothing: Don't start X if running within X / dependency check issue.
  • --nothing: Pull request for non-local images was invisible.

4.3.3 - 2018-06-05

Changed

  • --no-init or missing tini resp. docker-init: use sh as PID 1 for desktop environments (--desktop) to allow logout.

Fixed

  • fedora 28: Check for docker daemon with name dockerd-current (#49)
  • --auto: Prefer --hostdisplay for seamless apps if nothing else is available.
  • --wayland, --weston, --kwin, --hostwayland: Show error and exit if no wayland environment can be provided.
  • dockerrc messages forwarded to logfile fifo. (fixes "unknown file descriptor").

4.3.2 - 2018-06-03

Changed

  • x11docker-gui is interactive now. Live preview of generated command. Starting multiple x11docker instances possible. Copy-to-clipboard button.

  • --runfromhost can be specified multiple times now.
  • --runasroot can be specified multiple times now.
  • --dbus-system and init systems: remove useless or failing dbus services.

  • --xpra: Warning and workaround for cookie bug in xpra >=v2.3. xpra bugticket: https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/1859
  • --xpra in desktop mode: Allow closing client window, don't restart.

4.3.0 - 2018-05-26

Added

  • --stdin: Forward stdin of x11docker to image command.
  • --showpid1: Echo host PID of container PID 1 on stdout.

Changed

  • --security-opt=no-new-privileges for init systems and --dbus-system. Now default for all options except --sudouser and --cap-default.
  • --dbus-system and init system options: Run all except a few dbus system services manually and show security warning message. Manual start needed due to no-new-privileges, polkit setuid helper fails.
  • Minimize or delete /etc/pam.d/su and delete /etc/pam.d/sudo. Avoids security leak that would allow switching to root in container if PAM configuration allows it and capabilities for su are given.
  • Remove /bin/sh -c from extracted CMD image command.
  • Regard WORKDIR in image, use it instead of HOME. (#45)
  • Logfile handling with fifo/named pipe.

  • --nxagent: Regard --keymap.
  • --nxagent: Removed extension Composite, caused some issues.
  • --exe: Don't pass file descriptors to host executable.
  • --wayland Works with prissy GTK3 applications (e.g. xfce4-terminal) again, needed user switching in --dbus-system for unknown reasons.
  • --showid failed with sudo due to missing file descriptors. Using mkfifo now.
  • Don't forward stdin as default, can cause trouble if empty. use --stdin instead.
  • --xorg: disable screen saver (#46)

4.2.1 - 2018-05-10

Added

  • Forward stdin of x11docker to container command with a named pipe/fifo.

Changed

  • x11docker-gui: Use stdin for kaptain grammar transmission. Don't use cache.
  • --dbus-system: Don't create --tmpf /tmp --tmpfs /run --tmpfs /var/run --tmpfs /run/lock. (#43)
  • Some internal improvements for faster startup and shutdown.

Fixed

  • x11docker-gui: fixed x11docker startup failure due to changed stdout output.

4.2.0 - 2018-05-04

Added

  • --group-add: New option to add groups to container user. Needed instead of -- --group-add to cover user switching setups, too.
  • --showid: New option to show container ID on stdout.
  • --runfromhost: Replaces deprecated --add to have a meaningful option name. Similar to already existing --exe, but integrates with container.

Changed

  • --gpu: Support for automatic installation of NVIDIA drivers in container. Limited to glibc based image systems. (#41)
  • elogind support for --sysvinit, --openrc and --runit. See also elogind in container: elogind#52
  • --systemd: If host does not run systemd, create /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd.
  • --dbus-system: wait for bus socket to be ready before continuing.
  • --tini: Use tini-static from ~/.local/share/x11docker or /usr/local/share/x11docker if available. Show message for this possibility if /usr/bin/docker-init is missing. (Widespread docker packaging issue). (#23)
  • Avoid user switching except for --systemd, --sysvinit, --openrc and --runit. (#42)
  • Outsourced x11docker.png from x11docker-gui.
  • No default output of container ID on stdout anymore. Use --showid instead.
  • --silent: Do not show error messages except in logfile.
  • --weston[-xwayland] --fullscreen: Use X backend if possible to prevent possible crash with nested fullscreen weston in host drm weston.
  • Disabled forwarding of stdin to container, has not been reliable.

Deprecated

  • --add changed its option name to --runfromhost.

Fixed

  • Don't share or link /tmp/.Xn-lock as usefulness is in doubt. Avoids issues with x11docker/xwayland.
  • --stdout --showid: Make sure container ID is shown first.

4.1.1 - 2018-04-12

Changed

  • Mount nothing into /tmp as init cleanups may try (and fail) to delete it.
  • Write or link into /tmp only after possible init cleanup.
  • Mount X socket r/w again as there is no longer a risk due to /tmp cleanups.
  • --debug: Some changes for more useful debugging output. Drop set -x in main code, instead set -Eu with trap ERR.
  • --update/--update-master: Show excerpt of CHANGELOG.md.
  • Check ENTRYPOINT for init entries /tini|/init|/systemd and disable it if x11docker already runs an init. (Default: --tini.)

Fixed

  • x11docker-gui regards new output of container ID now that confused output of x11docker/kaptain and prevented start of x11docker.
  • Mount WAYLAND_DISPLAY and DISPLAY at / instead of /x11docker/ in container. Avoids a docker bug that only sometimes causes startup failure stat /run/user/1000/wayland-600: no such file or directory. Occasionally docker is confused about a mount point inside of a mount point. Avoiding that now. However, issue only seen with shared Wayland sockets and never with X sockets, maybe due to different option positions in docker run command.
  • --workdir: Avoid double setting of --workdir in docker command if x11docker option --workdir is set. Caused no trouble, though.

4.1.0 - 2018-04-08

Added

  • --update-master updates to latest x11docker master version. (Formerly job of --update).

Changed

  • --update updates to latest x11docker release on github. (Formerly: latest master version).

4.0.0 - 2018-04-07

Changed

Changed

  • Removed --security-opt=no-new-privileges for --systemd/--sysvinit/--runit/--openrc. (Undoes some changes from V3.9.8.1). Will be reintroduced after further checks, caused issues with x11docker/deepin and x11docker/cinnamon.
  • --env: set environment variables in docker run, too. Makes them available within docker exec.

3.9.8.1 - 2018-04-03

Changed

  • --security-opt=no-new-privileges now always set except for --sudouser. It does not harm switching from root to less privileged users. (Note: is undone in v3.9.9)
  • setup script with user switching: exec su instead of su to avoid root shell in parent tree. su is now immediate child of init.

Added

  • show container ID on stdout (#36). Can be catched e.g. with read containerID < <(x11docker [...] ).

3.9.8.0 - 2018-04-02

Changed

  • Removed Xtermlogfile, using Dockerlogfile instead. Strange: solved missing output with --pw=su or --pw=sudo, too.

Fixed

3.9.7.9 - 2018-03-31

Changed

3.9.7.3 - 2018-03-21

Changed

  • --env: regard whitespace. Still need to handle special chars like "'$.

3.9.7.1 - 2018-03-16

Fixed

  • alpine images: /etc/shadow entry must be /bin/sh, --dbus-system with su fails with /bin/bash.
  • openSUSE: finish(): replace bc with bash-only calculation, bc is missing on openSUSE.

3.9.7 - 2018-03-15

Changed

  • structure change: don't sleep 1 for setup; instead wait for it in x11docker.CMD.sh resp. run su or init in setup
  • xinitrc: some cleanup
  • --verbose: power of moo

  • cat docker daemon messages for startup error message.
  • mywatch(): replaced watch with custom sleep loop, watch failed in --hostdisplay (xinitrc) setups.
  • mywatch(): verbose output.
  • --exe: only forward stdin if not empty.
  • finish(): use pkill in most cases instead of kill to avoid kill success messages.

Fixed

  • --weston/--kwin: wait for file creation of wayland socket, checking logfile is not enough.

3.9.2.2 - 2018-02-09

Changed

  • check free display and cache folder with find only.
  • plasmashell added to possible window managers.

Fixed

  • --exe: avoid possible hostexe options with basename for $Hostexebasename.
  • typo checking /tmp/.Xn-lock.
  • checking free display number: race condition if starting two x11docker instances at same time, second one failed because display number already in use.

3.9.2.1 - 2018-01-29

Changed

  • create /x11docker/environment to store and provide container environment variables.

Fixed

  • correct date/year in changelog. (#21)

  • --clipboard for --hostdisplay: enable --trusted and --ipc, show warning.
  • xpra startup after xinitrc, not inside. For better error handling
  • removed ps loop in dockerrc, not needed anymore due to "docker run" in subshell
  • waitforlogentry(): Just return 0 or 1 instead of calling error()
  • changed logfile handling, move log from /tmp to $Sharefolder after tail -F

Fixed

  • --sharedir, --homedir: allow whitespaces in path
  • --cachedir: path must not contain whitespaces -> error()

Changed

  • -d: used for --desktop again, no longer for --dbus. --dbus now has short opt -b

  • outsourced docker startup from xinitrc
  • copy host cookie into $Cachefolder for compatibility with gksu
  • use gksu/gksudo if available
  • --showenv for --xonly
  • finish(): try docker stop $Containername
  • dockerrc: no ps/sleep loop if running as root

Fixed

  • &, &&, ;, <, >, | and the like possible in image command again
  • bugfixes in part "check window manager"

Added

  • --xhost STR: to set xhost STR in xinitrc.
  • --xvfb to explicitly use Xvfb and to clearly use Xdummy on --xdummy

Changed

  • --kwin-native: always share Wayland (--sharewayland --waylandenv --dbus)
  • docker run --read-only --volume=/tmp to restrict container filesystem as read-only (except for --sudouser)
  • --xorg supports --rotate. (Xephyr could, but crashes -> Xephyr bug. Nxagent, Xdummy, Xvfb and Xwayland refuse this.)
  • Xdummy script in $Cachefolder forked from https://xpra.org/trac/browser/xpra/trunk/src/scripts/xpra_Xdummy
  • calculate VideoRam in xorg.xdummy.conf (instead of fat hardcoded 256000 kb)

  • Xdummy-Xwayland: new X server to provide --gpu for --xdummy based on weston, xwayland and xdotool
  • always enable extension Xtest on --xdummy to allow xpra access
  • share X socket to /tmp, create .X11-unix in dockerrc and softlink socket. This avoids writeable X11-unix in $Cachedir.
  • --setwaylandenv: env now set in dockerrc instead of docker command

3.5.6 - 2017-06-21

Added

  • --sudouser: reincarnated option to give sudo without password to container user.

Changed

  • docker command one-liner extended to dockerrc. dockerrc creates x11docker_CMD. Can always extract image command without additional password prompt and create some environment.
  • create /tmp/XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and softlink to wayland socket in container due to some KDE issues (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR must be owned by user). Fails with different --user
  • create /tmp/.X11-unix with 1777 in container to allow new X sockets (especially for startplasmacompositor). Drawback: container writeable folder in cache
  • warning with hint to use --xpra-xwayland if --scale is used with --weston-xwayland.
