Dockerized Freemind - free mind mapping software, based on Alpine Linux, uses X11 socket
Requirements:
- Docker
- xhost (may be needed on some Linux distros)
How to:
- Build image
docker build -t freemind .
or - Pull image from Docker Registry
docker pull loadaverage/freemind - Allow access to X server (for some Linux distros)
xhost local:freemind - Run own FreeMind image
docker run --rm \
-v ~/Downloads/freemind:/home/freemind/Downloads \
-v ~/.freemind:/home/freemind/.freemind/ \
-v ~/.themes:/home/freemind/.themes:ro \
-v ~/.fonts:/home/freemind/.fonts:ro \
-v ~/.icons:/home/freemind/.icons:ro \
-v /usr/share/themes:/usr/share/themes:ro \
-v /usr/share/fonts:/usr/share/fonts:ro \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY freemind- Run FreeMind image from Docker Registry

-v ~/.themes:/home/freemind/.themes:ro \

-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY loadaverage/freemind- Docker for Mac
Note: UNIX sockets in Docker for Mac are not yet supported, thus X11 network forwarding is the only way to go
- Allow access to the X11
export X11_IP=$(ifconfig en0 | grep '[i]net' | awk '$1 == "inet" {print $2}')
xhost +$X11_IPor
- Use socat for UNIX socket -> TCP port forwarding
socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:\"$DISPLAY\"docker run --rm \
-v ~/Downloads/freemind:/home/freemind/Downloads \
-v ~/.freemind:/home/freemind/.freemind/ \
-v ~/.fonts:/home/freemind/.fonts:ro \
-e DISPLAY=$X11_IP:0 loadaverage/freemindNOTES:
- Volumes: mounted config directories should have correct permissions, otherwise Freemind will not work properly
- Xhost: on Linux distros you may need explicitly allow access to X server through xhost command: xhost local:freemind
