Inside docker container install Firefox and start Firefox
Introduction
Docker has revolutionized the way we deploy and manage applications, and now, with just a few simple commands, we can run Firefox inside a Docker container on RHEL. Let's dive in and unleash the power of containerization.
Step by Step Guide
- Ensure Docker is installed and Docker daemon is up and running.
- Pull the latest RHEL image from the Red Hat Container Catalog using:
docker pull registry.access.redhat.com/rhel7
- Run a new interactive container based on the RHEL image:
docker run -it --name my_rhel_container registry.access.redhat.com/rhel7 /bin/bash
- Inside the RHEL container, subscribe to the Red Hat subscription management service using:
subscription-manager register subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool_id>
- Enable the required RHEL repositories:
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
- Update the package manager:
yum update -y
- Install Firefox and other dependencies:
yum install -y firefox
- Start Firefox within the container:
firefox
