Run chromium browser inside docker container and make use of x11 unix socket and pulseaudio

Chrome or Firefox browser inside Docker

Run Chromium or Firefox browser inside an isolated Docker container on your Linux desktop. This setup was inspired from jlund/docker-chrome-pulseaudio.

Instructions

1. Install PulseAudio Preferences. Debian/Ubuntu users can do this:

   sudo apt-get install paprefs
   

2. Launch PulseAudio Preferences, go to the "Network Server" tab, and check the "Enable network access to local sound devices" checkbox.

3. Restart PulseAudio

    sudo service pulseaudio restart
   

   On some distributions, it may be necessary to completely restart your computer. You can confirm that the settings have successfully been applied using the pax11publish command. You should see something like this (the important part is in bold):

   Server: {ShortAlphanumericString}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native tcp:YourHostname:4713 tcp6:YourHostname:4713

   Cookie: ReallyLongAlphanumericString

4. Install Docker and Docker Compose if you haven't already

5. Clone this repository and get right in there

   git clone https://github.com/predkambrij/docker-browser-pulseaudio.git && cd docker-browser-pulseaudio
   

6. Prepare .env

   ./build_env.sh
   

7. Run the container

   docker-compose up -d --build chrome
   or
   docker-compose up -d --build firefox
