The container starts by automatically exposing their interfaces:
- The containers based on the X11Web container (as the desktops) expose a web-based VNC client (KasmVNC) on port 8590
- The JupyterNotebook container expose the Notebook server on port 8888
- The SSH container expose the OpenSSH server on port 22
All the containers support changing the default port using the `BASE_PORT` environment variable.
### Usage
You can eithe directly run the containers, e.g.:
docker run -p8590:8590 git.ia2.inaf.it:5050/exact/swc/basicdesktop:v0.3.0
or use tham as base containers for your own ones:
FROM git.ia2.inaf.it:5050/exact/swc/basicdesktop:v0.3.0
### Supported engines
These containers are built to be supported by nearly any container engine. These include:
- Docker
- Podman (rootful and rootless)
- Singularity
However, beware some permission errors which may arise after extending them and installing extra software, in particular with Singularity. You can add a line like this at the end of your Dockerfile to be sure the home folder is always set as writable by anyone (required for these containers to work with Singularity):
