Mortal kombat trilogy mame rom. Hello!

Have a VirtualBox based install of Docker for Win/Mac, rather than the newer HyperV or xhyve releases. Have machines in the cloud that you'd like to manage from docker-machine; docker-machine includes boot2docker images to do an install and it acts as a wrapper to setting the docker environment variables to point the client to a remote host. Docker containers run on top of a Linux kernel; meaning Docker on Linux can utilise the native kernel and the underlying virtual file system is shared between the host and container. On Mac, we’re using Docker Desktop. This is a native MacOS application, which is bundled with an embedded hypervisor. HyperKit provides the kernel capabilities.

If you are not familiar with Docker, it is the popular open source container engine.

Most people use Docker for containing applications to deploy into production or for building their applications in a contained environment. This is all fine & dandy, and saves developers & ops engineers huge headaches, but I like to use Docker in a not-so-typical way.

I use Docker to run all the desktop apps on my computers.

But why would I even want to run all these apps in containers? Well let me explain. I used to be an OS X user, and the great thing about OS X is the OS X App Sandbox.

App Sandbox is an access control technology provided in OS X, enforced at the kernel level. Its strategy is twofold:

App Sandbox enables you to describe how your app interacts with the system. The system then grants your app the access it needs to get its job done, and no more.

App Sandbox provides a last line of defense against the theft, corruption, or deletion of user data if an attacker successfully exploits security holes in your app or the frameworks it is linked against.

I am using the Apple App Sandbox as an example so people can grasp the concept easily. I am not saying this is exactly like that and has all the features. Columbine crime scene photos. This is not a sandbox. It is more like a cool hack.

I hate installing things on my host and the files getting everywhere. I wanted the ability to delete an app and know it is gone fully without some random file hanging around. This gave me that. Not only that, I can control how much CPU and Memory the app uses. Yes, the cpu/memory hungry chrome is now perfectly contained!

“What?!?!”, you say. Let me show you.

The following covers a few of my favorite applications I run in containers. Each of the commands written below is actually pulled directly from my bash aliases. So you can have the same user experience as running one command today.

TUIs (Text User Interface, pronounced too-eee)

Let’s start with some easy text-based applications:

1. Irssi

Best IRC client.

2. Mutt

The text based email client that rules!

3. Rainbowstream

For

Awesome text based twitter client.

4. Lynx

The browser everyone loves (to hate). but secretly I love

Yes I know my blog looks GREAT in lynx

Okay, those text based apps are fun and all but how about we spice things up a bit.

GUIs

None of the images below use X11-Forwarding with ssh. Because why should you ever have to install ssh into a container? EWWW UNNECESSARY BLOAT!

The images work by mounting the X11 socket into the container! Yippeeeee!

The commands listed below are run on a linux machine. But Mac users, I have a special surprise for you. You can also do fun hacks with X11. Details are described here.

Mac

Note my patch was added for --device /dev/snd in Docker 1.8, before that you needed -v /dev/snd:/dev/snd --privileged.

5. Chrome

Pretty sure everyone knows what chrome is, but my image comes with flash and the google talk plugin so you can do hangouts.

6. Spotify

All the 90s hits you ever wanted and more.

7. Gparted

Partition your device in a container.

MIND BLOWN.

8. Skype

Corel draw x7 mac os x free. The other video conferencer. This relies on running pulseaudio also ina container.

9. Tor Browser

Because Tor, duh!

10. Cathode

That super old school terminal.

So that’s enough examples for now. But of course I have more. All my Dockerfiles live here: github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles and all my docker images are on the hub: hub.docker.com/u/jess.

Happy Dockerizing!!!
