A package manager to easily install any docker-things app

This one-liner will fetch this repo, will install the docker-things script and then will remove the downloaded repo.

git clone https://github.com/docker-things/docker-things.git /tmp/dtrepo && bash /tmp/dtrepo/docker-things.sh self-install && rm -rf /tmp/dtrepo

This command will install firefox, chromium and thunderbird

docker-things install firefox chromium thunderbird

This command will upgrade firefox, chromium and thunderbird

docker-things upgrade firefox chromium thunderbird

This command will uninstall firefox, chromium and thunderbird

docker-things delete firefox chromium thunderbird

Assuming you installed Firefox and want it to be your default browser, run this:

docker-things set-default firefox

The apps are able to open stuff between each other by using the host xdg-open script through FIFO.

So, if you click a link in Mattermost it will be able to open Firefox or whichever is your default browser.

Notifications sent through notify-send will also be shown seamlessly in the host system by using FIFO pipes.

• docker - All the apps are built in docker containers
• git - All the apps are fetched from the github docker-things organization
