inside-docker

A small project that helps to easily run linux desktop applications as Docker containers.

##Installation

1. Clone and cd ./inside-docker
2. Run sudo ./install.sh
   this will create a symbolic link called inside-docker within your /usr/local/bin-folder

##Usage Hit ALT+F2 or run a terminal and enter inside-docker <SERVICE-NAME> to start one of the services as a Docker container. Right now there are two, both should work with pulseaudio.

• inside-docker skype starts Skype
  sound is working fine after a few tweaks. The cam was recognized instantly.
• inside-docker tachrome starts a throw-away instance of Chrome
  Ghostery, AdBlock & a Proxy switcher are already installed. If you're running Tor on your host, you can pipe your traffic through it by selecting TOR as proxy.

##Troubleshooting If sound is not working from within the containers, try

1. install paprefson your host system (something like sudo apt-get install paprefs)
2. launch "PulseAudio Preferences" and ensure that "Enable network access to local sound devices" is checked on the "Network Server" tab
3. Restart PulseAudio (something like pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D)
4. launch a container and retry
