And nice [post](https://blog.jessfraz.com/posts/docker-containers-on-the-desktop.html)!!\r\n\r\nThen, I have some thoughts about running desktop apps in docker (even if I really like the idea and find it extremely useful).\r\n\r\nFirst, the size: a chrome binary is ~100 MB while your chrome docker image is ~700MB. But I can deal with it if I only need to dockerize few apps.\r\n\r\nThe second issue, that is about docker itself, is the fact it runs as root. I understand it is necessary to have the docker daemon running as root, but having the containers too as root can be a problem. You need to be able to be root (or sudoer) to run and kill the dockerized apps. Another example is that if I download something from your dockerized chrome I am not able to open it. Chrome responds \r\n\r\n```\r\nPlease start Google Chrome as a normal user. To run as root, you must specify an alternate --user-data-dir for storage of profile information.\r\n```\r\n\r\nAm I missing something?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jfrazelle/dockerfiles/issues/comments/96430937","html_url":"https://github.com/jfrazelle/dockerfiles/issues/16#issuecomment-96430937","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jfrazelle/dockerfiles/issues/16","id":96430937,"user":{"login":"jfrazelle","id":1445228,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1445228?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle","html_url":"https://github.com/jfrazelle","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jfrazelle/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-26T20:24:34Z","updated_at":"2015-04-26T20:24:34Z","body":"Don't mount the volume with the chrome profile, and you can run with -u to\nspecify a user\n\nOn Sunday, April 26, 2015, brunetto <notifications@github.com> wrote:\n\n> Ah, and it shut you out from your chrome profile on the chrome installed\n> on your systems changing the owner of the folders to root.\n>\n> —\n> Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub\n> <https://github.com/jfrazelle/dockerfiles/issues/16#issuecomment-96366546>\n> .\n>\n\n\n-- \n\n\nJessie Frazelle\n4096R / D4C4 DD60 0D66 F65A 8EFC  511E 18F3 685C 0022 BFF3\npgp.mit.edu <http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x18F3685C0022BFF3>\n"}}
