[![webtop](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxserver/docker-templates/master/linuxserver.io/img/webtop-logo.png)](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop) ## Supported Architectures We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://distribution.github.io/distribution/spec/manifest-v2-2/#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/). Simply pulling `lscr.io/linuxserver/webtop:latest` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags. The architectures supported by this image are: | Architecture | Available | Tag | | :----: | :----: | ---- | | x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\ | | arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-\ | | armhf | ❌ | | ## Version Tags This image provides various versions that are available via tags. Please read the descriptions carefully and exercise caution when using unstable or development tags. | Tag | Available | Description | | :----: | :----: |--- | | latest | ✅ | XFCE Alpine | | ubuntu-xfce | ✅ | XFCE Ubuntu | | fedora-xfce | ✅ | XFCE Fedora | | arch-xfce | ✅ | XFCE Arch | | debian-xfce | ✅ | XFCE Debian | | alpine-kde | ✅ | KDE Alpine | | ubuntu-kde | ✅ | KDE Ubuntu | | fedora-kde | ✅ | KDE Fedora | | arch-kde | ✅ | KDE Arch | | debian-kde | ✅ | KDE Debian | | alpine-mate | ✅ | MATE Alpine | | ubuntu-mate | ✅ | MATE Ubuntu | | fedora-mate | ✅ | MATE Fedora | | arch-mate | ✅ | MATE Arch | | debian-mate | ✅ | MATE Debian | | alpine-i3 | ✅ | i3 Alpine | | ubuntu-i3 | ✅ | i3 Ubuntu | | fedora-i3 | ✅ | i3 Fedora | | arch-i3 | ✅ | i3 Arch | | debian-i3 | ✅ | i3 Debian | | alpine-openbox | ✅ | Openbox Alpine | | ubuntu-openbox | ✅ | Openbox Ubuntu | | fedora-openbox | ✅ | Openbox Fedora | | arch-openbox | ✅ | Openbox Arch | | debian-openbox | ✅ | Openbox Debian | | alpine-icewm | ✅ | IceWM Alpine | | ubuntu-icewm | ✅ | IceWM Ubuntu | | fedora-icewm | ✅ | IceWM Fedora | | arch-icewm | ✅ | IceWM Arch | | debian-icewm | ✅ | IceWM Debian | ## Application Setup The Webtop can be accessed at: * http://yourhost:3000/ * https://yourhost:3001/ **Modern GUI desktop apps (including some flavors terminals) have issues with the latest Docker and syscall compatibility, you can use Docker with the `--security-opt seccomp=unconfined` setting to allow these syscalls** ### Application management - PRoot Apps If you run system native installations of software IE `sudo apt-get install filezilla` and then upgrade or destroy/re-create the container that software will be removed and the Webtop will be at a clean state. For some users that will be acceptable and they can update their system packages as well using system native commands like `apt-get upgrade`. If you want Docker to handle upgrading the container and retain your applications and settings we have created [proot-apps](https://github.com/linuxserver/proot-apps) which allow portable applications to be installed to persistent storage in the user's `$HOME` directory and they will work in a confined Docker environment out of the box. These applications and their settings will persist upgrades of the base container and can be mounted into different flavors of Webtop containers on the fly facilitating virtual "Distro Hopping". IE if you are running the `alpine-mate` Webtop you will be able to use the same `/config` directory mounted into the `arch-kde` Webtop and retain the same applications and settings as long as they were installed with `proot-apps install`. This can be achieved from the command line with: ``` proot-apps install filezilla ``` PRoot Apps is included in all KasmVNC based containers, a list of linuxserver.io supported applications is located [HERE](https://github.com/linuxserver/proot-apps?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-apps). ### Options in all KasmVNC based GUI containers This container is based on [Docker Baseimage KasmVNC](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc) which means there are additional environment variables and run configurations to enable or disable specific functionality. #### Optional environment variables | Variable | Description | | :----: | --- | | CUSTOM_PORT | Internal port the container listens on for http if it needs to be swapped from the default 3000. | | CUSTOM_HTTPS_PORT | Internal port the container listens on for https if it needs to be swapped from the default 3001. | | CUSTOM_USER | HTTP Basic auth username, abc is default. | | PASSWORD | HTTP Basic auth password, abc is default. If unset there will be no auth | | SUBFOLDER | Subfolder for the application if running a subfolder reverse proxy, need both slashes IE `/subfolder/` | | TITLE | The page title displayed on the web browser, default "KasmVNC Client". | | FM_HOME | This is the home directory (landing) for the file manager, default "/config". | | START_DOCKER | If set to false a container with privilege will not automatically start the DinD Docker setup. | | DRINODE | If mounting in /dev/dri for [DRI3 GPU Acceleration](https://www.kasmweb.com/kasmvnc/docs/master/gpu_acceleration.html) allows you to specify the device to use IE `/dev/dri/renderD128` | | DISABLE_IPV6 | If set to true or any value this will disable IPv6 | | LC_ALL | Set the Language for the container to run as IE `fr_FR.UTF-8` `ar_AE.UTF-8` | | NO_DECOR | If set the application will run without window borders in openbox for use as a PWA. | | NO_FULL | Do not autmatically fullscreen applications when using openbox. | #### Optional run configurations | Variable | Description | | :----: | --- | | `--privileged` | Will start a Docker in Docker (DinD) setup inside the container to use docker in an isolated environment. For increased performance mount the Docker directory inside the container to the host IE `-v /home/user/docker-data:/var/lib/docker`. | | `-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock` | Mount in the host level Docker socket to either interact with it via CLI or use Docker enabled applications. | | `--device /dev/dri:/dev/dri` | Mount a GPU into the container, this can be used in conjunction with the `DRINODE` environment variable to leverage a host video card for GPU accelerated applications. Only **Open Source** drivers are supported IE (Intel,AMDGPU,Radeon,ATI,Nouveau) | ### Language Support - Internationalization The environment variable `LC_ALL` can be used to start Webtop in a different language than English simply pass for example to launch the Desktop session in French `LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8`. Some languages like Chinese, Japanese, or Korean will be missing fonts needed to render properly known as cjk fonts, but others may exist and not be installed inside the Webtop depending on what underlying distribution you are running. We only ensure fonts for Latin characters are present. Fonts can be installed with a mod on startup. To install cjk fonts on startup as an example pass the environment variables (Alpine base): ``` -e DOCKER_MODS=linuxserver/mods:universal-package-install -e INSTALL_PACKAGES=font-noto-cjk -e LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 ``` The web interface has the option for "IME Input Mode" in Settings which will allow non english characters to be used from a non en_US keyboard on the client. Once enabled it will perform the same as a local Linux installation set to your locale. ### Lossless mode This container is capable of delivering a true lossless image at a high framerate to your web browser by changing the Stream Quality preset to "Lossless", more information [here](https://www.kasmweb.com/docs/latest/how_to/lossless.html#technical-background). In order to use this mode from a non localhost endpoint the HTTPS port on 3001 needs to be used. If using a reverse proxy to port 3000 specific headers will need to be set as outlined [here](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc#lossless). ## Usage To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli. ### docker-compose (recommended, [click here for more info](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose)) ```yaml --- services: webtop: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/webtop:latest container_name: webtop security_opt: - seccomp:unconfined #optional environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Etc/UTC - SUBFOLDER=/ #optional - TITLE=Webtop #optional volumes: - /path/to/data:/config - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock #optional ports: - 3000:3000 - 3001:3001 devices: - /dev/dri:/dev/dri #optional shm_size: "1gb" #optional restart: unless-stopped ``` ### docker cli ([click here for more info](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/)) ```bash docker run -d \ --name=webtop \ --security-opt seccomp=unconfined `#optional` \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Etc/UTC \ -e SUBFOLDER=/ `#optional` \ -e TITLE=Webtop `#optional` \ -p 3000:3000 \ -p 3001:3001 \ -v /path/to/data:/config \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock `#optional` \ --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri `#optional` \ --shm-size="1gb" `#optional` \ --restart unless-stopped \ lscr.io/linuxserver/webtop:latest ``` ## Parameters Containers are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `:` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container. ### Ports (`-p`) | Parameter | Function | | :----: | --- | | `3000` | Web Desktop GUI | | `3001` | Web Desktop GUI HTTPS | ### Environment Variables (`-e`) | Env | Function | | :----: | --- | | `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation | | `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation | | `TZ=Etc/UTC` | specify a timezone to use, see this [list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List). | | `SUBFOLDER=/` | Specify a subfolder to use with reverse proxies, IE `/subfolder/` | | `TITLE=Webtop` | String which will be used as page/tab title in the web browser. | ### Volume Mappings (`-v`) | Volume | Function | | :----: | --- | | `/config` | abc users home directory | | `/var/run/docker.sock` | Docker Socket on the system, if you want to use Docker in the container | ### Device Mappings (`--device`) | Parameter | Function | | :-----: | --- | | `/dev/dri` | Add this for GL support (Linux hosts only) | #### Miscellaneous Options | Parameter | Function | | :-----: | --- | | `--shm-size=` | We set this to 1 gig to prevent modern web browsers from crashing | | `--security-opt seccomp=unconfined` | For Docker Engine only, many modern gui apps need this to function on older hosts as syscalls are unknown to Docker. | ## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets) You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`. As an example: ```bash -e FILE__MYVAR=/run/secrets/mysecretvariable ``` Will set the environment variable `MYVAR` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretvariable` file. ## Umask for running applications For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support. ## User / Group Identifiers When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`. Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic. In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id your_user` as below: ```bash id your_user ``` Example output: ```text uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user) ``` ## Docker Mods [![Docker Mods](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/yaml?color=94398d&labelColor=555555&logoColor=ffffff&style=for-the-badge&label=webtop&query=%24.mods%5B%27webtop%27%5D.mod_count&url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Flinuxserver%2Fdocker-mods%2Fmaster%2Fmod-list.yml)](https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=webtop "view available mods for this container.") [![Docker Universal Mods](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/yaml?color=94398d&labelColor=555555&logoColor=ffffff&style=for-the-badge&label=universal&query=%24.mods%5B%27universal%27%5D.mod_count&url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Flinuxserver%2Fdocker-mods%2Fmaster%2Fmod-list.yml)](https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=universal "view available universal mods.") We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above. ## Support Info * Shell access whilst the container is running: ```bash docker exec -it webtop /bin/bash ``` * To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: ```bash docker logs -f webtop ``` * Container version number: ```bash docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' webtop ``` * Image version number: ```bash docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/webtop:latest ``` ## Updating Info Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (noted in the relevant readme.md), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the [Application Setup](#application-setup) section above to see if it is recommended for the image. Below are the instructions for updating containers: ### Via Docker Compose * Update images: * All images: ```bash docker-compose pull ``` * Single image: ```bash docker-compose pull webtop ``` * Update containers: * All containers: ```bash docker-compose up -d ``` * Single container: ```bash docker-compose up -d webtop ``` * You can also remove the old dangling images: ```bash docker image prune ``` ### Via Docker Run * Update the image: ```bash docker pull lscr.io/linuxserver/webtop:latest ``` * Stop the running container: ```bash docker stop webtop ``` * Delete the container: ```bash docker rm webtop ``` * Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your `/config` folder and settings will be preserved) * You can also remove the old dangling images: ```bash docker image prune ``` ### Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier) !!! tip We recommend [Diun](https://crazymax.dev/diun/) for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported. ## Building locally If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic: ```bash git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop.git cd docker-webtop docker build \ --no-cache \ --pull \ -t lscr.io/linuxserver/webtop:latest . ``` The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using `multiarch/qemu-user-static` ```bash docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset ``` Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with `-f Dockerfile.aarch64`. ## Versions * **22.04.24:** - Rebase Ubuntu to Noble. * **16.04.24:** - Add docs on PRoot Apps. * **14.04.24:** - Rebase Fedora to 40. * **11.02.24:** - Add PWA icons and title variants properly. * **06.02.24:** - Update Readme about native language support. * **29.12.23:** - Rebase Alpine to 3.19 and swap back to Firefox. * **07.11.23:** - Rebase Fedora to 39. * **14.06.23:** - Rebase to Debian Bookworm. * **13.05.23:** - Rebase to Alpine 3.18 and Fedora 38. * **23.03.23:** - Rebase all Webtops to KasmVNC base image. * **21.10.22:** - Rebase xfce to Alpine 3.16, migrate to s6v3. * **12.03.22:** - Add documentation for mounting in a GPU. * **05.02.22:** - Rebase KDE Ubuntu to Jammy, add new documentation for updated gclient, stop recommending priv mode. * **21.09.21:** - Add Fedora and Arch images, show seccomp settings in readme. * **26.09.21:** - Rebase to Alpine versions to 3.14. * **20.04.21:** - Initial release.
