I've already tried to, but I have some difficulties. Maybe you can help me. :-)

Currently, I try to use docker image deepin/deepin-core. But it seems I have a quite bad transfer rate, an apt-get update never finishes. I've looked at /etc/sources.list and tried to use different mirrors from Germany or USA. But all setups fail. The mirrors don't have a kui directory, and others like panda or trusty fail. Can you give me a working sources.list with a mirror in or near to Germany?

[sikenali]

@mviereck https://www.deepin.org/en/mirrors/packages/ Germany have four mirrors

[sikenali]

USA http://mirrors.kernel.org/deepin/

[mviereck]

Yeah, I've already tried some of these mirrors. The deepin docker image accesses kui in its sources.list. The mirrors don't have a kui directory, instead I find panda,precise and trusty. I tried to replace kuiwith panda,precise or trusty for the mirrors, but that does not work.

So I ask you for a sources.list that works in image deepin/deepin-core.

Currently, I am not able to build a deepin desktop image as the builds never finishes. I tried a build on docker hub with the original sources.list pointing to deepin.com, but after some hours, docker hub canceled the build.

[mviereck]

I did another try to use image debian:unstable as a base and to add http://mirrors.kernel.org/deepin/ to sources.list. But the built still fails:

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive

@mviereck I feedback this problem to developers , thanks

[deepinzhangshuang]

only user "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/deepin unstable main non-free contrib" to try, don't add "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib".

[mviereck]

Thank you!

only user "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/deepin unstable main non-free contrib" to try, don't add "deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib".

This did not work, too. But I found a working setup based on deepin/deepin-core using the panda branch, working with several mirrors tested so far:

FROM deepin/deepin-core

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive

RUN echo "deb http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/linuxdeepin/deepin/ panda main non-free contrib" \
    > /etc/apt/sources.list

I had to make some changes in x11docker itself to get it running. If you want to try out, please use current x11docker beta version: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/raw/experimental/x11docker

Core setup:

x11docker --desktop --systemd --sys-admin deepin

There are some issues in deepin if it does not find sound hardware. It runs pactl and dde-session-daemon with very high CPU usage making the system unusable. Though, I can set option --pulseaudio. Then the CPU calms down. But sound seems not to work well. Setup with pulseaudio:

x11docker --desktop --systemd --sys-admin --pulseaudio deepin

You can also add hardware acceleration:

x11docker --desktop --systemd --sys-admin --pulseaudio --gpu deepin

Do you have an idea about the CPU usage issue if running without option --pulseaudio? I tried to disable sound in the deepin config options, but that did not help.

For logfile output, add option --verbose.

[mviereck]

I have published a deepin desktop docker image!

Use it with the latest x11docker version (now V3.9.0.1):

x11docker --desktop --systemd --sys-admin --pulseaudio --gpu x11docker/deepin

Please check out if you find any issues. If you have a wish, maybe for additional applications, please tell me.

[sikenali]

@mviereck Thanks

[mviereck]

Since x11docker 3.9.0.5, you can drop insecure option --sys-admin and run deepin with:

x11docker --desktop --systemd --pulseaudio --gpu x11docker/deepin

[mviereck]

I found that x11docker/deepin had some issues making it quite slow. I fixed this with disabling some dbus services. It runs quite faster now. (Please update to latest x11docker for new x11docker/deepin).

Instead of option --systemd, you can use option --dbus-daemon, that speeds it up, too:

x11docker --desktop --dbus-daemon --pulseaudio --gpu x11docker/deepin

I've also added chinese fonts. Use --env LANG=zh_CN or just --env LANG=$LANG to get deepin in chinese.

[mviereck]

I had issues to build and run x11docker/deepin since April 2018. Now I succeeded with a fresh build. x11docker/deepin needs more privileges now to run.

Run desktop with:

x11docker --desktop --gpu --init=systemd --cap-default --hostipc -- --cap-add=SYS_RESOURCE --cap-add=IPC_LOCK -- x11docker/deepin

Note that this setup to run deepin desktop includes several options degrading container isolation. Do not use if security is a concern.
