LightMachine.dockerfile

Docker images for velcrine/lightmachine(an upcoming project) are baked here.

One Dockerfile, built with --build-arg DESKTOP_ENV= gnome3 | lxde | mate | node will produce respective docker image.

docker build . -t velcrine/debian_lxde --build-arg DESKTOP_ENV=lxde

I highly recommend go through the build process and make your own customizations for your own flavour.

1. --build-arg DESKTOP_ENV=lxde : to produce velcrine/debian_lxde which is based on "lxde" desktop environment

2. --build-arg DESKTOP_ENV=gnome3 : to produce velcrine/debian_gnome3 which is based on "gnome3" desktop environment

3. --build-arg DESKTOP_ENV=mate : to produce velcrine/debian_mate which is based on "mate" desktop environment

4. --build-arg DESKTOP_ENV=node : to produce velcrine/debian_node which is based on "no desktop environment"(node).

   Node comes with a user named "debug", password " " and uid 9998 to begin with.

Extending out

1. Add a shell script to be run (kind of as an entrypoint) before the desktop environment starts like this -v /path/to/file.sh:/dockerstation/init.sh. Now this shell script will run before the desktop environment starts.

2. Use these images as base image for extending them with your application or your configuration. See /instance directory for live example.
