Xubuntu on Docker

A Docker image based on Ubuntu 18.04 with Xfce desktop environment, VirtualGL, XRDP and XRDP PulseAudio module.

Start an instance

docker run --detach \
  --name xubuntu \
  --publish 3389:3389/tcp \
  hectormolinero/xubuntu:latest

You will be able to connect to the container via RDP through 3389/tcp port.

Important: if you use the --privileged option the container will be able to use the GPU with VirtualGL, but this will conflict with the host X server.

Important: some software (like Firefox) need the shared memory to be increased, if you encounter any problem related to this you may use the --shm-size option.
