Alpine-LibreOffice

Container for Alpine Linux + Libreoffice

This image containerizes the Libreoffice suite for working with documents, also includes some free fonts e.g Ubuntu, OpenSans, Inconsolata etc.

Based on Alpine Linux from my alpine-openjdk8 image with GNU LibC and s6 init system overlayed in it.

The image is tagged respectively for the following architectures,

  • armhf
  • x86_64 (retagged as the latest )

armhf builds have embedded binfmt_misc support and contain the qemu-user-static binary that allows for running it also inside an x64 environment that has it.

Get the Image

Pull the image for your architecture it's already available from Docker Hub.

# make pull
docker pull woahbase/alpine-libreoffice:x86_64

Run

If you want to run images for other architectures, you will need to have binfmt support configured for your machine. multiarch, has made it easy for us containing that into a docker container.

# make regbinfmt
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Without the above, you can still run the image that is made for your architecture, e.g for an x86_64 machine..

Before you run..

  • This image already has a user alpine configured to drop privileges to the passed PUID/PGID which is ideal if its used to run in non-root mode. That way you only need to specify the values at runtime and pass the -u alpine if need be. (run id in your terminal to see your own PUID/PGID values.)

  • Needs /tmp/.X11-unix/ mounted and $DISPLAY set inside the container.

  • To use fonts installed in the host system, mount /usr/share/fonts inside the container.

  • To preserve/load documents from the host system mount the /home/alpine dir in your local. By default mounts $PWD/data.

Running make starts libreoffice.

# make
docker run --rm -it \
  --name docker_libreoffice --hostname libreoffice \
  -e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 \
  -c 512 -m 2096m \
  -e DISPLAY=unix:0 \
  -v /usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts:ro \
  -v data:/home/alpine \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  woahbase/alpine-libreoffice:x86_64

To start the editor directly without showing the splash screen add the --nologo flag along with the editor type e.g --writer, these are already preset as make targets so, make writer will launch writer ready to type.

# make writer
docker run --rm -it \
  --name docker_libreoffice --hostname libreoffice \
  -e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 \
  -c 512 -m 2096m \
  -e DISPLAY=unix:0 \
  -v /usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts:ro \
  -v data:/home/alpine \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  woahbase/alpine-libreoffice:x86_64 \
  --writer --nologo

Other targets are calc, draw, impress, math, base, web and global.

Stop the container with a timeout, (defaults to 2 seconds)

# make stop
docker stop -t 2 docker_libreoffice

Removes the container, (always better to stop it first and -f only when needed most)

# make rm
docker rm -f docker_libreoffice

Restart the container with

# make restart
docker restart docker_libreoffice

Shell access

Get a shell inside a already running container,

# make shell
docker exec -it docker_libreoffice /bin/bash

set user or login as root,

# make rshell
docker exec -u root -it docker_libreoffice /bin/bash

To check logs of a running container in real time

# make logs
docker logs -f docker_libreoffice

Development

If you have the repository access, you can clone and build the image yourself for your own system, and can push after.

Setup

Before you clone the repo, you must have Git, GNU make, and Docker setup on the machine.

git clone https://github.com/woahbase/alpine-libreoffice
cd alpine-libreoffice

You can always skip installing make but you will have to type the whole docker commands then instead of using the sweet make targets.

Build

You need to have binfmt_misc configured in your system to be able to build images for other architectures.

Otherwise to locally build the image for your system. [ARCH defaults to x86_64, need to be explicit when building for other architectures.]

# make ARCH=x86_64 build
# sets up binfmt if not x86_64
docker build --rm --compress --force-rm \
  --no-cache=true --pull \
  -f ./Dockerfile_x86_64 \
  --build-arg ARCH=x86_64 \
  --build-arg DOCKERSRC=alpine-openjdk8 \
  --build-arg PGID=1000 \
  --build-arg PUID=1000 \
  --build-arg USERNAME=woahbase \
  -t woahbase/alpine-libreoffice:x86_64 \
  .

To check if its working..

# make ARCH=x86_64 test
docker run --rm -it \
  --name docker_libreoffice --hostname libreoffice \
  -e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 \
  woahbase/alpine-libreoffice:x86_64 \
  '--version'

And finally, if you have push access,

# make ARCH=x86_64 push
docker push woahbase/alpine-libreoffice:x86_64
