# NOVNC-BASE

A desktop environment with sound in docker

Can be used as a base file for application specific containers.

To just get a desktop environment at `http://localhost:8080`:

```bash
docker run --rm thomasloven/novnc-base -p 8080:8080
```

Or used as a base for specific applications:

```dockerfile
FROM thomasloven/novnc-base

RUN sudo apt-get update \
  && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
  sudo apt-get install -y blender

CMD ["blender"]
```

See more examples in `apps/`.

### Bonus functionality - dotfiles installation.
If the environment variable `DOTFILES_REPO` is set, the container will `git
clone` that into `~/dotfiles` and then run `~/dotfiles/install.sh` if it
exists.
