arch-i3-novnc-docker

Docker container with a minimal arch linux + i3 window manager install. The docker X server can be accessed in the browser with novnc.

Usage

docker pull fennerm/arch-i3-novnc
docker run --rm -p 8083:8083 -ti --name arch-i3-novnc -e DISPLAY=:0.0 arch-i3-novnc:latest supervisord

Then navigate to localhost:8083 in your browser.

arch-i3-novnc-docker's Issues

docker: Error response from daemon

@fennerm I have been trying to get linux + i3 installed on 2 MBPs without much success (nvidia + monitor issues) when I saw this repo. Would love to get this running on my MacBook pro but ran into some issues (see below). Is it possible to run this on macOS? Is extra software required on the host?

BTW Your "Everything in a container" approach sounds really interesting as well. Similar to QubesOS but probably less of a resource hog. Looking forward to reading more about this.
