Xubuntu on Docker

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

Start an instance

docker run --detach \
  --name xubuntu \
  --publish 3389:3389/tcp \
  --shm-size 2g \
  --device /dev/dri \
  hectormolinero/xubuntu:latest

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

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.

Important: enabling VirtualGL support requires the --privileged option and the X server required for VirtualGL will conflict with the host X server.
