Hi Ahmed49,
Yes, it is possible to run an Avalonia application in a Linux amd64 environment (Ubuntu) using the Wayland compositor Weston within Docker containers. Additionally, you can configure the application to autorun by customizing the weston.ini
file.
Here are the steps to achieve this:
-
Create a Dockerfile for your Avalonia application:
- Ensure your Dockerfile sets up the necessary environment for running Avalonia on Linux.
- Install dependencies such as .NET runtime and any other required libraries.
-
Create a Dockerfile for Weston:
- Use a base image that includes Weston, such as
torizon/weston
. - Ensure the Dockerfile sets up Weston to run as a Wayland compositor.
- Use a base image that includes Weston, such as
-
Customize the
weston.ini
file:- Create a
weston.ini
file with the necessary configuration. - Use the
[autolaunch]
section to specify your Avalonia application.
- Create a
Here is an example of how you might set up the weston.ini
file:
[core]
backend=drm-backend.so
[autolaunch]
path=/path/to/your/avalonia/application
- Run the Docker containers:
- Start the Weston container with the customized
weston.ini
file. - Ensure the Avalonia application container is set to communicate with the Weston container.
- Start the Weston container with the customized
Here is an example of how you might run the containers using Docker Compose:
version: '3.8'
services:
weston:
image: torizon/weston
volumes:
- ./weston.ini:/etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini
devices:
- /dev/dri:/dev/dri
environment:
- ACCEPT_FSL_EULA=1
command: weston --tty=1 --backend=drm-backend.so
avalonia-app:
image: your-avalonia-app-image
environment:
- WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
volumes:
- /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
depends_on:
- weston
- Ensure the Avalonia application is set to autorun:
- In the
weston.ini
file, the[autolaunch]
section should point to the executable of your Avalonia application.
- In the
By following these steps, you should be able to run your Avalonia application in a Docker container with Weston as the Wayland compositor and have it autorun using the weston.ini
configuration.
