CodeWeavers.CrossOver.VNC Docker image

A docker image for run CrossOver Linux though VNC remote manager.

With the docker image, U can run windows softwares under docker container, instead of much heavier virtual machines. Current installed version: CrossOver Linux 18.1.0

Pull latest image from Docker hub:

sudo docker pull johnshine/crossover-vnc:latest

Then run the image as pull finished:

sudo docker run -d -p ${VNC_PORT}:5901 -e vnc_password=${YOUR_VNC_PASSWORD} johnshine/crossover-vnc:latest

If YOUR_VNC_PASSWORD or vnc_password argument leave empty, no password need to connect to VNC server, which most used in one`s own local home network.

After buy CrossOver Linux license, you could add license file to container as following, that can be downloaded at codeweavers.com -> My Account -> My Orders:

sudo docker run -d -p ${VNC_PORT}:5901 -v /path/to/license/license.sig:/opt/cxoffice/etc/license.sig -v /path/to/license/license.txt:/opt/cxoffice/etc/license.txt -e vnc_password=${YOUR_VNC_PASSWORD} johnshine/crossover-vnc:latest

Another solution, Wine VNC: Free, but maybe less stable.
