x11docker/lxde-wine

LXDE desktop containing wine, winetricks, q4wine and playonlinux

• Get x11docker from github to run GUI applications and desktop environments in docker images.
• Use x11docker to run image.

Building image

You can pull the image from docker hub with docker pull x11docker/lxde-wine. However, the image on docker hub can be a bit outdated. I recommend to build the image yourself:

docker pull debian:bullseye
x11docker --build x11docker/lxde
x11docker --build x11docker/lxde-wine

Or, same with podman:

podman pull debian:bullseye
x11docker --build x11docker/lxde --backend=podman
x11docker --build x11docker/lxde-wine --backend=podman

Examples:

Run LXDE desktop including wine:

• x11docker --desktop --cap-default x11docker/lxde-wine

Use host folder to preserve installed Windows applications with option --home:

• x11docker --desktop --home x11docker/lxde-wine

Run PlayOnLinux only:

• x11docker --home x11docker/lxde-wine playonlinux

Options:

• Persistent home folder stored on host with --home
• Shared host folder with --sharedir DIR
• Hardware acceleration with option --gpu
• Clipboard sharing with option --clipboard
• Sound support with option --pulseaudio or --alsa
• Language setting with --lang=$LANG
• Printing over CUPS with --printer
• Webcam support with --webcam

See x11docker --help for further options.

Language

The default language locale setting is en_US.UTF-8. You can change to your desired locale with x11docker option --lang.

• Example for german: --lang de
• Example for chinese: --lang zh_CN
• Example for host setting: --lang $LANG

Fonts: chinese, japanese, korean

To enable chinese, japanese and korean fonts in wine, run winetricks cjkfonts. There is also a starter provided on the desktop for this.

Extend image

To add your desired applications, create your own Dockerfile with this image as a base. Example:

FROM x11docker/lxde-wine
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y vlc
