Run Netbox KUKI TV inside of Docker container

Run Kuki TV in an Ubuntu container

Run Kuki TV from the NetBox internet provider in an Ubuntu container. This is useful if you have one of the unsupported Linux distribution for this application. Supported distributions are Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux.

Build Docker container

./build_docker.sh

Run container

sudo docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /home/$USER/.kuki:/home/kuki/.kuki --privileged kuki

or use run_kuki.sh script.

Enable Intel graphics card

You need to pass DISPLAY environment variable, /tmp/.X11-unix folder to the container and the container have to be run as --privileged to enable XServer. To save Kuki user settings you have to mount the /home/$USER/.kuki folder inside of container.

See below if you have NVidia graphics card.

Enable PulseAudio

1. To enable PulseAudio it is required to install and run paprefs on a host. Launch paprefs (PulseAudio Preferences) > Network Server > [X] Enable network access to local sound devices.
2. Enable port 4713/tcp in your firewall to allow container to connect to host.

Note:

Sound may work but it is muted. Press and hold + on numpad to increase application volume.

Enable NVIDIA graphics card

To enable NVIDIA graphics card inside of Docker, you have to install https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker and run nvidia-docker instead of docker command. Also you must uncomment NVIDIA part in the Dockerfile and comment Intel part there.

System integration

1. Copy share folder:
   • If you want support for local user only: ~/.local/share
   • If you want system support /usr/share
2. Copy run_kuki.sh to /usr/bin/kuki.
3. Add %wheel ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/kuki to visudo after first %wheel directive.
4. Run docker on startup systemctl enable docker-latest (Fedora 25) or systemctl enable nvidia-docker if you have NVIDIA graphics card.

Future Work

Use Flatpak instead of Docker.
