TomasTomecek / dockerfile-fedora-chromium

Run chromium in docker container.

dockerfile-fedora-chromium

Building it

docker build --tag=fedora-chromium .

Running it

docker run \
    --net host \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
    -e XAUTHORITY=/.Xauthority \
    -v ~/.Xauthority:/.Xauthority:ro \
    --name chromium \
    fedora-chromium

Required

• --net host — use host's network stack, otherwise you'll see:

[1:1:0327/114315:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(210)] Gtk: cannot open display: :0.0

• -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix — bindmount X socket
• -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY — connect to proper display
• -e XAUTHORITY=/.Xauthority -v ~/.Xauthority:/.Xauthority:ro — X auth stuff
• -v ~/.Xauthority:/.Xauthority:ro — again, X auth stuff

Optional

• --cpuset-cpus 0 — one core is just enough
• --memory 512mb — that should be enough
• -v $HOME/Downloads:/home/chromium/Downloads — get access to Downloads dir in your profile
• -v $HOME/.config/chromium/:/home/chromium/.config/chromium\ — preserve runtime configuration
• -v /dev/snd:/dev/snd --privileged — sound
