Containers
Various Docker and Singularity containers.
Hierarchy
- Base
- X11Web
- MinimalDesktop
- BasicDesktop
- ViaLacteaVisualAnalytics
- BasicDesktop
- MinimalDesktop
- JupyterNotebook
- SSH
- XCalc
- X11Web
Interfaces
The container starts by automatically exposing their interfaces:
-
The containers based on the X11Web container (as the desktops) expose a web-based VNC client (KasmVNC) on port 8590
-
The JupyterNotebook container expose the Notebook server on port 8888
-
The SSH container expose the OpenSSH server on port 22
All the containers support changing the default port using the BASE_PORT
environment variable.
Usage
You can eithe directly run the containers, e.g.:
docker run -p8590:8590 git.ia2.inaf.it:5050/exact/swc/basicdesktop:v0.3.0
or use tham as base containers for your own ones:
FROM git.ia2.inaf.it:5050/exact/swc/basicdesktop:v0.3.0
Supported engines
These containers are built to be supported by nearly any container engine. These include:
- Docker
- Podman (rootful and rootless)
- Singularity
However, beware some permission errors which may arise after extending them and installing extra software, in particular with Singularity. You can add a line like this at the end of your Dockerfile to be sure the home folder is always set as writable by anyone (required for these containers to work with Singularity):
# Fix home permissions
RUN chmod 777 /home
