I use also hostdisplay but you can also try xpra. The PhpStorm script has some more options like git, because we need a clipboard for copy & paste and hostdbus for credentials. PhpStorm stores connection credentials in the Linux keyring. You will need the packages git, openssh, vim, gnome-keyring and libsecret to work properly. I use this method in my PhpStorm Docker image. PhpStorm can be downloaded and extracted to /opt. To work efficiently with Dockerized PhpStorm you will need a Docker container with PhpStorm and the same packages like in the GIT dockerfile. If some SSH keys are not found, you can mount the ssh folder with -sharedir $HOME/.ssh:ro. The start time is compared to native GIT long and you don't have bash completion. X11docker -q -t -sharessh -sharedir $HOME/data/sources -homedir=$HOME/data/x11docker/git -workdir $(pwd) - sandrokeil/archlinux:git you can use GIT as always and it works seamlessly. With this is feels like native GIT usage.Ĭreate the following script named git and put it to a directory which is in your PATH variable e.g. I set the working directory to the current directory where the git command is executed. This makes it easy to mount the root source directory. All my sources are stored under data/sources. Don't worry about file permissions, how to share the ssh socket or to mount directories. One cool thing of x11docker is, that it does all the heavy lifting. The minimal packages are git and openssh. A Docker container with GIT, the mounted source of course and your SSH credentials. To work properly with Dockerized GIT you need three things. The bash scripts refer to a folder data/x11docker in your home directory where x11docker stores the container config. You should create your own Docker images, but for testing my Docker images should work too. If you not familiar with Dockerized desktop apps, check out the Dockerized introduction. But what is development without debugging? If all apps are dockerized you will need a workaround to be able to debug the application e.g. This blog post shows how to setup a fully dockerized development suite with PhpStorm, GIT and Postman.
