Parameters

Parameter	Function
-p 8080	Allows HTTP access to a web desktop gui (with Guacamole).
-p 3389	Allows RDP access to the desktop.
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Europe/London	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
-e GUAC_USER=abc	Username for the desktop gui.
-e GUAC_PASS=900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72	Password's md5 hash for the calibre desktop gui.
-e UMASK_SET=022	for umask setting, default if left unset is 022.
-e REPO_GIT=https://github.com/StudioEtrange/kcc	git repository from where to install kcc, default is https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc.
-e KCC_VERSION=mambo	tag or commit in git repository, default is master.
-v /config	Where kcc should store some config.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

 

Application Setup

This image sets up the desktop app and makes its interface available via Guacamole server in the browser. The interface is available at http://your-ip:8080.

By default, there is no username or password set. Custom usernames and passwords can be set via optional docker environment variables. Keep in mind that the GUACPASS variable accepts the md5 hash of the desired password (the sample above is the hash for abc). The md5 hash can be generated by either of the following commands:

echo -n password | openssl md5

printf '%s' password | md5sum

Port 8081 is reserved for Calibre's built-in webserver, which can be enabled within the desktop app settings, and the internal port must be set to 8081 although it will then be available at the host mapped port for external access.

You can access advanced features of the Guacamole remote desktop using ctrl+alt+shift enabling you to use remote copy/paste and different languages.

Building locally

If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:

git clone https://github.com/studioetrange/docker-kcc.git
cd docker-kcc
docker build \
  --no-cache \
  --pull \
  -t studioetrange/kcc:latest .

using makefile

make VERSION=latest
