Docker-chrome

Chrome browser in docker container.

Improves Chinese font display of the chrome image in https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles.git.

Dependences

• Linux Operation System with X-Org or Wayland.
• docker
• x11docker
• xpra (optional)
• Xvfb (optional dependence of xpra)
• nxagent (optional)
• pulseaudio (provide audio, optional)

Usages

• Launch Chrome as seamless applications:

x11docker --lang=zh_CN.UTF-8 --nxagent --pulseaudio --clipboard -- jinwuzhao/chrome --no-sandbox

• Launch Chrome in xpra environment:

x11docker --lang=zh_CN.UTF-8 --xpra --pulseaudio --clipboard -- jinwuzhao/chrome --no-sandbox

Trouble Shooting

• Error: Only console users are allowed to run the X server If the execution fails with this error message in the log file you need to make the following changes:
  Create the file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config with the content

/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
allowed_users=anybody

• The browser often crashes. Generally because of the default resource limits of docker.
  I recommend to launch Chrome likes this:

x11docker --lang=zh_CN.UTF-8 --nxagent --pulseaudio --clipboard -- --cpus=2 --memory=1g --shm-size=1g -- jinwuzhao/chrome --no-sandbox
