bethgelab-users

Enables the following features:

1. Using LDAP user within a Docker container (more precisely: emulates it by using a local user with the same uid).
2. Runs an X server.
3. SSH daemon, i.e. allows ssh -X to run GUI within the Docker container.

Edit the Dockerfile and replace the following environment variables before building:

• USER -- your user account
• USER_ID -- your user id. To find out your id: id -u USER
• USER_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD -- your user password (encrypted). To generate it: perl -e 'print crypt('"PASSWORD"', "aa"),"\n"'

To start the container, make sure to mount /gpfs01/bethge and expose the ports: docker run -d -P -v /gpfs01/bethge:/gpfs01/bethge bethgelab-users

Note

Do not override the CMD in bethgelab-users. If you need to execute additional programs when starting the container, add them to /usr/local/bin/startup as follows:

RUN echo "./mycmd" >> /usr/local/bin/startup
