⁠useful parameters
param exampledescription
--shm-size 2gshared memory size (/dev/shm). The default 64m is too low for many GUI apps. Increase to value >=2G to avoid i.e. firefox crashes.
⁠data persistence
  • the default user's (ehlo) home dir is mapped to a Docker volume by default
  • this user is unprivileged but has sudo privs (passwordless). However, changes made outside of the home dir (i.e. software installations with apt-get) will not persist.
    • (unless you commit the changes to a new image, i.e. via: docker commit <containername> <newimagename>)
⁠security

VNC connections are unencrypted. Intended for usage on a secure network (i.e. localhost).
