'Desktop shortcut' or 'Gnome Application'

[diraol]

Lot's of linux users are not used to work on the CLI, thus starting docker is not an trivial task for them.

Thus, it would be nice if we could deploy some kind of shortcuts for the users to start the docker by clicking on it.

If it is a Gnome user, for example, we could add a '.desktop' application that will enable the shortcut to be found from the 'Gnome Dash'.

Create to me a desktop shortchut and pull me a request to add on my project.

The command to run is docker-compose run --rm wscef

I created a Vagrantfile [1] that is able to create a VM with Ubuntu Desktop + docker + wscef-docker.

wscef-docker starts when the user log into Ubuntu (The Vagrantfile creates the ~/config/autostart/warsaw.desktop).

@danielmenezesbr Great about your Vagrantfile. When I was creating this project, @lbssousa writing too a Vagrantfile[1] and he changed a lot the concept of his VM and in the last state is a SSH X11 forward

The discussion is there[2], but have more two post for this subject. And one is registred[3] our efforts

About your project isn't necessary dockerizing the warsaw inside because is isolated in VM. Like the Vagrantfile of @lbssousa.

I will take your Desktop shortcut and do adaptation, but I wanted a PR, in a further time.

I've also forked a Vagrantfile to run warsaw on Windows (don't want to install warsaw and slow down my system).
I've created a shortcut for this:

Maybe we can add a Vagrantfile on this project to make it multi platform.

[farribeiro]

@rafaelsoaresbr If using Vagrant, I recommend using @lbssousa gist[1].

Exists docker for windows but will be it's works with X server on windows or a solution firefox win32 based?

If anyone wants to get my latest Gist before transition to SSH X11 Forwarding, just fork it at this revision:

https://gist.github.com/lbssousa/5dcc5459b02db8d971ae8984fcd37235/f76752cab46c189e43e2a5fe5353a5c6bfd547c1

Since it's still valuable for Windows users, I'll create a new GitHub repo (no more gists) with both Vagrant implementations ("GUI VM" and "headless VM with SSH X11 forwarding").

@farribeiro @lbssousa Thanks for your hard work.
