Xfce desktop containing wine, winetricks, q4wine and playonlinux

• Get x11docker from github to run GUI applications and desktop environments in docker images.
• Use x11docker to run image.

Run Xfce desktop including wine:

• x11docker --desktop --cap-default x11docker/xfce-wine-playonlinux

Use host folder to preserve installed Windows applications with option --home:

• x11docker --desktop --home x11docker/xfce-wine-playonlinux

Run PlayOnLinux only:

• x11docker --home x11docker/xfce-wine-playonlinux playonlinux

• Persistent home folder stored on host with --home
• Shared host folder with --sharedir DIR
• Hardware acceleration with option --gpu
• Clipboard sharing with option --clipboard
• Sound support with option --pulseaudio or --alsa
• Language setting with --lang=$LANG
• Printing over CUPS with --printer
• Webcam support with --webcam

See x11docker --help for further options.

The default language locale setting is en_US.UTF-8. You can change to your desired locale with x11docker options. Compare the output of echo $LANG on your host computer.

• Example for german: --env LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
• Example for chinese: --env LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8

To enable chinese, japanese and korean fonts in wine, run winetricks cjkfonts. You can also use a starter provided on the desktop for this.

To add your desired applications, create your own Dockerfile with this image as a base. Example:

FROM x11docker/xfce-wine-playonlinux
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y vlc
