Thanks in advance for any pointers. Sure. Everything goes through the xpra server's vfb, so this isn't really an xpra question, more of a general container + X11 question. You just need to ensure that your X11 applications can connect to the X11 vfb server socket.
Usually, they'll lookup the DISPLAY variable and open the corresponding socket in /tmp/.X11-unix/ You could bind-mount that directory, but this would expose all the display sockets in that directory. I'm sure there are other options others can suggest (preferably not using X11 over TCP!). Incidentally, I had suggested a better solution for private X11 sockets many years ago, but people didn't seem to understand the use case so this didn't get enough traction and I gave up on it: https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/778 (and this still looks like the right solution to this sort of problem) Cheers Antoine > > On Jul 19, 2017 12:06 AM, "Antoine Martin via shifter-users" > <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > On 19/07/17 01:54, Timothy Hobbs via shifter-users wrote: > > I don't think any such document exists, > Well, it certainly could be improved and updated, but the first > hit when > googling "xpra docker" is this page on the xpra wiki: > https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Usage/Docker > <https://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Usage/Docker> > (and it does link to subuser) > It's a wiki, so feel free to suggest edits or just do them yourself. > > Cheers > Antoine > > > however, the subuser project has > > working code for connecting to xpra via docker: > > > > https://github.com/subuser-security/subuser/blob/master/logic/subuserlib/classes/subuserSubmodules/run/x11Bridge.py > > <https://github.com/subuser-security/subuser/blob/master/logic/subuserlib/classes/subuserSubmodules/run/x11Bridge.py> > > > > > > > > On 07/18/2017 08:47 PM, Titusi Forum via shifter-users wrote: > >> Dear XPRA Team: > >> > >> > >> Is there any documentation that can help me setup XPRA server > inside a > >> docker container running on Ubuntu and then connect to it > using HTML5 > >> client? > >> > >> > >> > >> Regards, > >> _______________________________________________ > >> shifter-users mailing list > >> [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > >> http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users > <http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users> > > > > _______________________________________________ > > shifter-users mailing list > > [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > > http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users > <http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users> > > _______________________________________________ > shifter-users mailing list > [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users > <http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users> > > _______________________________________________ shifter-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users
