Launching Linux GUI apps from the Docker Console in Token2Shell (Store App)

Token2Shell can directly connect to Docker containers. When you connect to a container from Token2Shell, Token2Shell automatically configures it to properly redirect Linux GUI apps to X410. So when you want to use a Linux GUI app from your container, you just need to install its package and run it!

Sharing Windows TrueType Fonts

If you want to share Windows TrueType fonts with a Docker container, you can mount the Windows font folder while creating a container and add it to '/etc/fonts/local.conf' file. For example, let's assume your Windows fonts are in 'C:\Windows\Fonts' folder:

STEP 1 Create a container and mount the folder

docker create -v C:/Windows/Fonts:/mnt/winfonts:ro -t -i token2shell/console /bin/bash

':ro' is appended in order to make the mounted folder read-only. Please also note that Linux GUI apps usually expect to have the locale settings (ex. LC_ALL) set to UTF-8. Our 'token2shell/console' image already has those settings configured to "en_US.UTF-8".

If you need to change the locale settings, please consult your OS manual for instructions.

STEP 2 Connect to the container and create a '/etc/fonts/local.conf' file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
    <dir>/mnt/winfonts</dir>
</fontconfig>

STEP 3 Install/Launch your Linux GUI app
