dockerfiles

Maybe you already saw this: https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/docker-containers-on-the-desk... It's pretty dated, but the state of containers has only improved since 2015, and this was usable for Google Hangouts (video) and YouTube all the way back then. https://hub.docker.com/r/jess/chrome/ ^ This got a push less than 24 hours ago https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/blob/master/chrome/s... ^ This is the Dockerfile, in a repo full of Dockerfiles for other things you might have had trouble putting into a container. I tried this myself and had problems because (I think) I was on a very old LTS/stable distro with a necessity to use pretty old Docker release. This person is a maintainer on the Docker core team, so is most definitely tracking newest releases. I use Chrome in a headless setup with Kubernetes and Docker (Jenkins with kubernete

I saw a trick where you can run Chrome and give it less memory, and it uses less memory. This is done using cgroups. The blog post is somewhat old[1] and not in sync with the version that is in Git[2], you might find a way to do this without Docker (I was using an old version of Docker and kernel that couldn't get it to work. But I need the old version of Docker for reasons.) Chrome will aggressively consume any memory you give it (up to a point?) to "make your browsing experience better" somehow. You're not wrong. But there is modern technology that can make it better. If you have a fast SSD, then Chrome can still use Swap to make your experience better. The later version in the Dockerfile linked on Git also leverages swapaccount with the seccomp setting. This may be one great use of Docker for people that wouldn't yet have been co

I attended her talk on "Containerizing Your Desktop" at LinuxCon NA 2015, and she maintains this open source repository filled with awesome Dockerfiles that can run anything from Spotify to Chrome. Truly amazing https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles

Seems like a good reason to go @jessfraz and containerize your Spotify client until there's a fix. https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/tree/master/spotify

She has a repository of Dockerfiles, so you can see for yourself the type of thing she does in containers: https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles

with a little bit of tweaking you can run desktop apps in containers. check out Jessie Frazelle's dockerfiles: https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles edit: to answer your question: you'll probably encounter bugs and glitches, as the hardware may not be fully supported. i've heard of issues with wifi, bluetooth, power management, etc.
