Firefox 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.
In some situations, one wants a web browser to run on a distant server which is close to what is being browsed, e.g. to mount virtual media for an IPMI device.
So what one really wants here is a burner web browser that one can run either lcoally or on a remote server. 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.
