Waterfox running under Xvnc inside a Docker container, a demented tool to solve a demented problem.

Occasionally one needs to run dangerous code in a web brower, eg, some dodgy Java app which is the only available interface to some critical resource. Running this in one's normal web browser is a bad idea.

So what one really wants here is a burner web browser. Here you go.

See create.sh and run.sh for ways one might use the image.

Something along the lines of the run.sh formulation might work well as the command portion of a tunneling ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 command.

This version is based on Ubuntu rather than Debian, because I was trying to get the icedtea-web Java Plugin stuff to work. Still fails, too many things know that no browser supports this crap anymore.

In theory, we might be able to get somewhere by building icedtea ourselves, or using an old packaged version. See:
