docker-myrulib

Simple docker image for myrulib app.

Why?

The myrulib is not supported for modern linux distributions. Provided packages deb and rmp is outdated. Installing from source code via .configure && make fails.

So dockerizing of this app is rescue for modern linux distributions users.

How to use

Install docker on your machine.

Enable access from foreign clients to X

 xhost +

and run with

docker run  --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
 -v /home/${USER}/myrulib:/root \ 
   qwazer/docker-myrulib

/home/${USER}/myrulib will be used as home folder for root user inside container.

Currently myrulib execuded by root.

HI DPI support

To adjust resolution for HI DPI screens pass GTK_SCALE parameter

docker run  --rm -e GTK_SCALE=2 -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
 -v /home/${USER}/myrulib:/root \ 
   qwazer/docker-myrulib

Limitation

It's quick and dirty image, so myrulib process executed via root user inside container. Track issue #1 for myrulib process user permissions.
