This Dockerfile provides a set of X servers that can be used by x11docker.
The resulting image x11docker/xserver can be used automatically to run the supported X servers in a container.
This allows to isolate the X servers from host and to reduce x11docker dependencies on host.
Pull the image from docker hub with docker pull x11docker/xserver.
Or build image yourself with: x11docker --build x11docker/xserver
The build takes a while because nxagent is built from source.
This image supports all x11docker X server options and also contains several tools to reduce x11docker dependencies on host.
The image includes X servers and Wayland compositors kwin_wayland, nxagent, Xephyr, Xorg, Xvfb, weston, Xwayland and xpra.
Supported x11docker options (formerly host only) for use with image x11docker/xserver:
--kwin
--nxagent
--weston
--weston-xwayland
--xephyr
--xorg
--xpra
--xpra-xwayland
--xvfb
--xwayland
New options that depend on image x11docker/xserver and xpra on host:
--xpra2
--xpra2-xwayland
--xpra2 and --xpra2-xwayland run X server and xpra server in container, but xpra client on host.
This should provide the best possible combination of security and performance for xpra.
GPU support
Open source MESA drivers
The image contains the free open source MESA drivers. No setup is needed if you use MESA drivers on host.
NVIDIA driver
If you have closed source NVIDIA driver installed on host, image x11docker/xserver needs the same driver version inside for hardware acceleration.
However, this only makes sense if your driver version is >=470.x as older ones do not support the accelerated X server setups of this image.
