thanhtantran / docker-chromium-armhf

A docker container to provide an armhf chromium instance with widevine installed in it (allows Spotify, Netflix, etc.)

docker-chromium-armhf

This is a Google Chromium container using the armhf architecture. Currently, it provides widevine CDM support.

Build

To build the application, you have to clone it first,

git clone
cd docker-chromium-armhf
docker build -t hthiemann/chromium-armhf .

Run the container:

You need to enabel xhost forwarding first:

xhost +local:docker

If the xhost command can not be found, make sure to install it first (on manjaro, the required package is 'xorg-xhost').

Although not required, it is recommended to save chromium settings in a volume, to make it persistent through container restarts.

docker volume create chromium_home

After creating the volume, you can run the image using the following command:

docker pull hthiemann/docker-chromium-armhf

docker run --rm --privileged \
 -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
 -v chromium_home:/home \
 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
 -v /dev:/dev -v /run:/run \
 -v /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id \
 --ipc=host \
 --device /dev/dri \
 --group-add video \
 hthiemann/docker-chromium-armhf

Or simply use the script chromium-armhf:

sudo install -m 755 chromium-armhf /usr/local/bin
chromium-armhf
