dockerfile-x11docker-kodi

Goal is to run kodi in docker container on Raspberry Pi.

Getting Started

Prepare Pi:

• Prepare Pi image: Easiest way is to start with Raspberry Pi OS with desktop: https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/
• Install docker:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh
sudo usermod -aG docker pi

Login && logout and check docker is running

docker version
docker info
docker run hello-world

• Install additional packages: TODO: verify if all needed.

sudo apt install xpra xserver-xephyr xinit xauth xclip x11-xserver-utils x11-utils
sudo apt install xvfb
sudo apt install kaptain

• Install x11docker:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mviereck/x11docker/master/x11docker | sudo bash -s -- --update

• Download lxde Docker file and build the Docker image on the Pi:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mviereck/dockerfile-x11docker-lxde/master/Dockerfile
docker build -t lxde .

Check x11docker lxde image

x11docker --desktop lxde

Build the kodi image:

docker build -t xmass2/kodi .

export DISPLAY=:0
x11docker --gpu --pulseaudio --home="/home/pi/tmp/home/" --share="/home/pi/tmp/home/video/" -- --privileged --  kodi
