Is it possible to install a headless linux instance inside a docker container?

Featured Replies

Hi friends,

ย 

Can anyone comment if it's possible to run a headless Linux instance inside a docker container?

ย 

Hope someone can help ๐Ÿ™

That's literally what almost every container is... so maybe elaborate?ย

Hi @Kilrahย and thank you for your reply :) ๐Ÿ™


I would like to install and use the newly created Adguard VPN client for Linux, but I would prefer to install it in a container environment, so that I can choose which other containers uses the VPN connection and which don't.

ย 

The problem is, I'm not sure the Adguard VPN app is docker compatible, so I was thinking maybe it's possible to install ubuntu in a docker container, and then install Adguard VPN in there.

ย 

I hope this explanation helps.

The idea is you write a Dockerfile that starts from the containerized version of whatever is your favorite distro (e.g.ย https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu), then have it run commands needed to install the application in the container. There may be more involved but that'll be 100% dependent on the app in question.ย
