Introduction

Dockerized google-chome and tor-browser with audio support via pulseaudio and does not required any complicated setup.

Installation

Install the wrapper scripts using:

docker run -it --rm -v /usr/local/bin:/target \
sameersbn/browser-box:latest install

This will install wrapper scripts to launch

• google-chome
• tor-browser

If the application being launched is already installed on the host, then the host command is executed and the docker image is not started.

Use Cases

tor-browser

• Protects your anonymity on the internet.
• Access websites your ISP has blocked.

google-chrome

• Guest access????

How it works

The wrapper scripts volume mount the X11 and pulseaudio sockets in the launcher container. The X11 socket allows for the user interface display on the host, while the pulseaudio socket allows for the audio output to be rendered on the host.

Upgrading

To upgrade to newer releases, simply update the image

docker pull sameersbn/browser-box:latest

Uninstallation

docker run -it --rm -v /usr/local/bin:/target \
sameersbn/browser-box:latest uninstall
